Not as easy as Tijnema thinks... all the icons are in a single image so
first he needs to find the icon boundaries to extract them to perform
colour analysis. And that can be more or less hard depending on how the
icons are merged. For instance using PNG images with alpha transparency
so that an overlay and merge looks right would make edge detection of
the icon difficult ths making colour analysis difficult. Also, the
colour analysis only works in the case where you're presented with an
image and asked to pick the same image form the set. It doesn't work in
the semantic example where you are asked "which of the following doesn't
belong?" :)

Cheers,
Rob.
