Here's a riddle about the 50 US states. Since you all have the anwers, it shouldn't be that hard. Match a state to each clue. I made the clues VERY vague to make things more interesting. For example, if the clue were 'W', the answer would be 'Texas' (Think George W. Bush). Good luck! And you can also write your reasoning for an answer so others can follow your trail of thought.
