    Math Question

    I was changing my profile and it had a 'Math Question' box right below the 'My Location' box. I think it was '9+5'. I don't see the question anymore thinking I must have seen things. What's that all about? Did anyone get that? Is it standard VB question? Some sort of mental acuity test.

    NSW composition
