Bradley and Burt are twins. They spend every morning gelling their hair, eating bowls of cereal, brewing two teacups of routined black coffee, and playing sudoku.

Bradley has never finished a piece slower than his younger brother. Hell, he's always done two in the time Burt completes one.

And here comes the day when Burt figures out the numbers before his overzealous brother.

"What's misunderstood?"
"Nobody thinks I'm a genius.”
