The one I have been wondering about is #86.
At around 50 years, a famous desert icon tends to develop counterweights to keep itself upright. Name the state were the silhouetted western figure is currently seen on the official standard state license plate.
It looks like everybody picked Arizona. I would sure like to know the reasoning for that answer.
Jeez, they are discribing a saguaro cactus. The arm growth starts a about 65 yrs. Arizona has the cactus on their license plate. Look at

Go to run now.
Thank you for that information. I could not figure out why most everyone picked Arizona.
I'm not ready to concede that they are describing the cactus, though. They say "silhouette" and that's a black and white drawing, which is Wyoming. Also the Wyoming license plate icon has been used for about 50 years, while Arizona's has only been used about 10. The icon is out of balance because of either of two reasons - the bucking bronco, so the cowboy is out of balance, or because the icon is about 50 years old and they don't seem to know who is the artist anymore. There is a lot of disagreement about who actually painted the silhouette.
