IndianaNorth DakotaOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaSouth Dakota Thinking 40 is probably Indiana as in Anna Pavlova, though can't work out how the Indi works, Oklahoma has been said as Fine French Writer and I supect it's right, but I'm hoping not cos it's an awful clue, and I suspect Xen is right about North and South Dakota, though like him, no idea why other than both ending the same.

Vacamion Posted 10 March 2014 Share Posted 10 March 2014 Nice work. Oklahoma has been said as Fine French Writer and I supect it's right, but I'm hoping not cos it's an awful clue, I think it's o.k.
