Summary

"One Out of Ten" by J. Anthony Ferlaine is a mid-20th-century science fiction tale set in a TV quiz show, where things get weird when a contestant claims to be a Martian planning an invasion. Smiling Jim Parsons, the host, chats with Mrs. Freda Dunny, who says she's a Martian secretly living on Earth among humans with abilities of mind control. As she nails the quiz questions and even reads Jim's mind to reveal details, the story mixes humor with science fiction to look at identity and the idea of aliens already living among us, while making fun of TV culture.
