today's mensa calendar page is easy except when it isn't.

Middle Management

Can you name eight common six-letter words containing BU in their middles? Words ending in "s" are not allowed. For extra credit, give two answers starting with A and three answers starting with R.

1. A_BU__

2. D_BU__

3. F_BU__

4. I_BU__

5. K_BU__

6. N_BU__

7. R_BU__

8. S_BU__
