Best foods for intellectual effort?

asyouseefit

Hi there!

I'm taking a 4 hour test wednesday and I was wondering what was the best foods to eat before (lunch) and during (snacks).
Lunch can be anything but the snack needs to be small and non-messy!

Thanks in advance!

I'd make sure I have 2-3 pieces of candy (like jolly rancher). Yes, I know they aren't the best, but your brain needs glucose, so it's a good idea to give it its fuel right away.
