Jojo lists Vermont as one of the orig 13. But missed Rhode Island.Jojo & Ravi,
I hope you realize that both of you listed DIFFERENT 13 states as the first 13 states
/CoreDump
PS: One of you is correct, I will let the board figure it out...
My trick was to put the list in alphabetical order >>
CDG (Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia)
NNNN (North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York)
MM (Maryland, Massachusetts)
PRSV (Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia).
CDG is the airport code for Paris, then
4 Ns
2 Ms
PRSV was easy for me, because they are the common initials in our family)
Good luck.
Nice discussion!! And, I liked Bobsmyth's story to remember the 13 colonies.
For me, I have to mouth the formula before I answer - for example, I would say CDG,2Ms, 4Ns, PRSV before I start actually listing the coloines. I am visualizing the IO's face when we start telling him the story in response to his question!! Hilarious.
Bobsmyth! What do you do if you forget the storyline?
