To the best of our knowledge, only one word can be made from all of the letters below, using each letter only once. Can you figure out what it is?

ok, now I might well be wrong about this, but I believe that a jerkin/gauntlet and mittens, are articles of clothing, while I don't believe any human would wear horseshoes, so I'm going to say that HORSESHOE is the odd one out.

I agree with rlsuth ... a jerkhin and gauntlet and mittens are worn on the upper part of the body, whereas hoseeshoes cannot

Well....... they could be attached to the upper body but I don't think the person would be very comfortable.

The state of Elsewhere added several taxes to everything. A $20 theater ticket included a 15% amusement tax, a 5% city tax and a 5% state tax. If there were no taxes, how much would the ticket cost?
