@juicifer but a coconut is a function
unless, you say it's a function that does what a nut does
 
yeah if a conut is the opposite of a nut and a co-conut is the opposite of a conut then a coconut and a nut should be equivalent
at least that's my understanding

@juicifer Yup!

CCCC: John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt in explosive competition? (10)

@juicifer TOURNAMENT (competition) = OUR NAME ("John ... Schmidt": the lyrics say "his name is my name" and this is a children's song so this is most likely sung by a group of children? Hence "our name" rather than "my name") in TNT (explosive)

"gastronomy" is apparently a synonym for cuisine, but I don't see any possible wordplay forming it
 
@oAlt It is not Gastronomy

StivThis puzzle is part of the Monthly Topic Challenge #6: Is it really that [time] again?. It is a tough task to create an 'odd-one-out' type puzzle whose solution lacks any ambiguity at all - it is all too easy for a second unintended pattern to lurk within a small number of options.

The person who wrote that answer hasn't even posted any questions, at least not from that account!
Nor do I see any recent questions that could possibly be from "the sun two speed crossword".
Nor any existing PSE questions or answers saying the same thing (because one possibility in weird cases like this is that this is a would-be comment spammer, trying to build legitimacy by posting things that must be OK because they're the same as other things people have posted before).
