Leave it to Google to keep the useful new GMail features coming. Such as this one, the Mail Goggles. You can enable a basic math test that requires correct answers before you are allowed to send email between a predefined set of hours (like, say, hours on the weekend that you're likely to be drinking too much booze).
I thought it was a joke, but I checked my Gmail account, and sure enough it was there.
Unfortunately this test does not apply well to all audiences. As an engineer, I am very familiar with mathematics and I'm pretty sure I could solve these expressions no matter how trashed I might be.
So for Mail Goggles 2, I suggest they include an engineer option that replaces the problems with differential equations. Or on second thought, maybe not. Then it would seem too much like work and I wouldn't send any email at all.

For most engineers they could just replace the math problem with a spelling quiz...although I may not be able to pass that sober.
