[Mid] Math

The other day, while trying to warm up my brain for a day of not drooling on myself, (coffee is part of this ritual -I guess about half a galon a day) I found myself taking a web based IQ test. I burned through the math part (15 or so questions out of thirty - though not all of them were obviously math if that makes any sense to anyone) and the logic part (about 10 questions) in about 10 of my aloted 30 minutes. Then I hit the questions that went something like, "A common four letter word can be added to each of these words to create four new words. What is that word?"

My brain made a sound much like what I imagine the New Jersey would make if it accidentally ran into the Great Barrier Reef at flank speed. Of the five questions in that section I only managed to come up with one correct answer. The rest I just gave up on.
