Around the world, things are no more predictable. Most South Africans, Australians, and New Zealanders rhyme ‘scone’ with ‘con’, but people in Ireland predominantly rhyme it with ‘cone’. Outside of English-speaking countries, French and Spanish voters were divided pretty evenly between the two, whilst Italians fell down in favour of ‘cone’ as the rhyming sound. One solitary lover of snacks in Macau chose ‘con’; one in Jordan chose ‘cone’. And so on and so forth.
