Can you figure out why my friend likes
certain things and not others?
Yes, I know that PAILIN, the governor, is spelled incorrectly, but there is a city in China that
is spelled Pailin.
Solution to the Problem:
My friend likes six letter words that are formed by three state abbreviations.
What is funny is that I thought this problem would be unfair to the gentleman from India, but he was the only one to solve it!
