I could be wrong! I'm interested to see what the answer is.

[pseudomonas]

I don't know what the answer is!

[bugshaw]

I am the person who is least confident about the answer.
You are:
O the next most confident
O the next least confident

[lethargic_man]

I want to tick both!

[curious_reader]

Me, too. How can you know which one comes next?

[livredor]

I agree. I would usually say second [adjective]-est, not next.

[gerald_duck]

My thinking is that "most small" can be substituted for "smallest" and "next most small" feels correct but "next most large" feels wrong.

I reckon "next larger" would be OK, though.

[simont]

*nods* "next smallest" means the next one counting from the smallest end, but "next larger" (at least sometimes) means the next one counting upwards from here.

And of all the bugs you could have picked why'd you choose the slimy one?
