All right Dopers, **TMINC** needs your help. Please reply with what you think (or know) the answer is by just saying the letter of the choice (but not reasons why or explaining why it’s a right answer). I’ll leave it open for the next 10 - 15 minutes or so…if nobody replies at all, well, that would suck. ---

Well, it’s up to you **TMINC**. You can take a guess now with what you have so far…or we can wait until we get enough answers from others to where it would make it a better choice, however long that might take. I don’t mind. I have nothing but time and am on for at least 11 more hours. It’s up to you. ---

Awww. I’m sorry. The answer is A…she lives on the East coast (I don’t know WHAT state, exactly, but she told me once she lived on the E.C., so I’m sure at least a few other Dopers knew that). But good game. You got very, very far. ---
