Joshua Kreitzer: > Actually, I had Yukon and British Columbia as my second choice for that > question. Whoops. That can happen when you supply two guesses on separate lines and when I delete the wrong answers from the list I don't notice that one of them was from the same person as a right answer. But since I don't specify a format for multiple guesses, that means that not noticing is my fault. Apologies. 4 for Pete and Dan Tilque only; 2 for Joshua.
