The one filled with those darned who's-married-to-who-and-who-is-the-handler-for-which-exotic-animal puzzles about cocktail parties, dinners, bowling leagues and poker/bridge groups, with a paragraph of delightful unconnected, slightly surreal statements like, "Seamus is not the lion-tamer, though he lives with big cats."

Gosh, that was the best part, and they did away with it!!

I can't believe they did away with that part! It was my absolute favorite part of the test. It was like a little break of fun. Sigh. On a positive note, I can still find those puzzle books here sometimes and love playing them. Anybody need me to send them some?

Oh- and FWIW Dh says the MCAT is also a very dangerous gateway drug.
