	This is a question I thought up not long ago, and people I've asked it to don't think anyone can get the answer to it. I think some of you can. Typing "yes" above for Part 0 is optional (unless you get the actual question right) and that part is only there because the Sporcle stats do not include plays with zero correct answers. I am likely to reveal the answer in a future comment and would advise you not to read the rest of the comments until you get the answer or give up. Hopefully it can be done, good luck if you're trying it!

	The clue is too vague and doesn't really make sense. It seems like you are trying to say that there is a word, that if you add the letter M to, it will still be a word (ie oat -> Coat). The problem is that after you give the examples you say the ONLY other one is your answer. What about H (our -> hour), S (at -> sat, etc? Essentially, the way you word your question is too confusing for it to actually be understood.

	I do not feel the question is worded in a confusing way. It is essentially: "C is to OAT, and I is to LAND, so M is to what?" It does not have anything to do with the word "coat" (I thought this would be obvious since "iland" is not a word). I would advise you to think about this question for a while longer.

	The answer (plus explanation) can now be seen by typing "448387" as answer. Why so many low ratings?

	What about "at" for Virginia and Vermont?

	...oh. I somehow missed that, sorry. It's been corrected now. Thanks.

	there are so many low ratings because people cant get past the first answer.

	The first answer is "yes". It says so in the instructions. Surely that's not it?
