Massachusetts
Delaware
Texas
Pennsylvania

Status: offline 		Shoulda waited for clue three, dc. LOL!  But, no it's not about boundary on latitude.  It does have to do with boundaries, I'll give you that,

Clue #3 was going to be:  This has to do with US geography.  Get out some maps.  (That's different than clue # 1, now, isn't it?)

Clue #4 : NOT boundaries as such...... look at the border states.

But they all have off-shore wind projects, which while isn't what your clues indicate, is pretty cool.

ALL: When a neighbor was here, I asked him to look at this game.  We started at the Hayward quartet so that he got the feel of it.  Skipped Acer's comments, and I was silent from the start of this quartet.  When he got to "look at the border states," he grabbed the US atlas and after a few moments study, he gave the answer and said, "They're gonna KILL you."  I agree, y'all are gonna kill me. LOL!

Status: offline 		Hanable: That was guessed on post # 5137 and my response was that there's only one other quartet that gives the same answer.  (See post #5142.) Even though dcnovice repeated the quartet at the top of this page, this quartet goes further back.  OOOooooo..... they are gonna kill me.  I just know it. (And that is NOT a clue. LOL!)

Sorry, I won't/can't be back until later this afternoon.  C'ya then

Status: offline 		It's really almost too simple for "research."  Look at the border states of the states in the quartet(s).

Y'all are gonna kill me.  Probably fluffypet will lead the charge.

Status: offline 		Well, i thought it might be states that bounded many others, but there are states which touch more states South Dakota touches 6 other states.
 
Then i thought it might be states which had bodies of water or rivers defining their boundries.  But other states also touch water.
 
Massachusetts touches - New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
New Jersey touches - Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware
Delaware touches - Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey
Texas touches - New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana
 
(Pennsylvania touches - New York, New Jersey, Ohio, West Virgina, Maryland, and Delaware.)
 
Lance, i'm stumped.

Simply look at the NAMES of the border states.

Status: offline 		dc sneaks in and grabs the win...... wait, I thought that was some other game. LOL!

Specifically the quartet are states directly to the south of the only four states that are New Something states.

Mass. is directly South of New Hampshire
Del. is directly South of New Jersey
Texas is directly South of New Mexico (hence the US geography clue.)
N.J is directly South of New York (Penn is also directly South of New York)

They're gonna kill me, I just know it.

i'm beginning to learn that Lance's mind is not just kinky, it's devious and diabolical, too.
