At the Airport (Posted on 2005-05-19) Difficulty: 1 of 5
Yesterday I was at the airport at the capital of one of the US fifty states. There was a sign with two lines: on the first there was the name of the (capital) city, and on the second the name of the state. Curiously, the two lines had no letters in common.

Where was I?

possible different solution...? | Comment 8 of 13 |
Here's how i did it...
The key sentence here is "no letters in common" so i looked at it like; a state with no letter C, O, M or N in it.
It was lookin good til i came to the cities. Dead end.

Then i read what Penny said about "no letters" not necessarily meaning not 1 letter.
So i looked for all the states and capital cities with only 1 C/O/M/N in it.

that left me with...

Tallahassee, Florida.

....maybe...
