Remember NO googling or searching the Internet allowed and good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Each state and province has a two letter postal abbreviation. In this teaser, you are required to place one abbreviation between the letters of a second abbreviation (so that they form the first and fourth letters) to get the word described.
Example - Arkansas (AR) + Connecticut (CT) C+AR+T =CART

1) Place the two letter abbreviation of one state between the two letter abbreviation of another state to make a word meaning labyrinth.

2) Place the two letter abbreviation of one state between the two letter abbreviation of another state to make a word meaning store.

3) Place the two letter abbreviation of a province between the two letter abbreviation of a state to make a word that means finished.

4) Place the two letter abbreviation of a province between the two letter abbreviation of another province to make a word that means grabs.

5) Place the two letter abbreviation of one state between the two letter abbreviation of another state to make a word meaning hello.

    OK
    I looked at these while my students were at recess. I think I have 2 of them.

    #1 Maze (Maine - ME and Arizona AZ)

    #2

    #3 Done (Deleware DE and Ontario ON)

    #4 Typical American I don't know the abbreviations of the provinces. :(

    #5 Ohio This can't be right. There is no OO. Hm?

    I think that is an F for a grade but really an A for effort.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    #4 might be NABS - Nova Scotia (NS) + Alberta (AB)
    #5 could be CIAO - Colorado (CO) + Iowa (IA)

    "#5 could be CIAO - Colorado (CO) + Iowa (IA)"

    I spent some time on #5 without success. "Ciao" is quite clever.
