Full marks to Ilan for correctly nailing (a) the odd one out, but
(b) - his playmate - remains at large and unidentified. Any takers?

A rec.puzzles regular has assured me in email that my puzzle is
fair (or at least 'maybe not unfair'!), but he also observed that
to solve it will take 'out-of-the-box thinking'.
If you've solved (a) you're only halfway there, and it may be
time to look at things in a new way!

'out-of-the-box thinking'. ------- makes me think of Watson's tin

Which of these numbers is the odd one out and why: 2003, 2011, 2017, 2021, 2027, 2029?
but I suspect that what you have in mind is more compelling than that.
