Thump,

You got 4,5,6,8,12,16,17,18,19,20 correct.

For question 2, I was looking for geographic size. You are correct about Ashtabula, but not on the smallest one.

You have a good start to question 3, but there are a couple more.

You are on the right track with question 7.

You got one of the tribes correct on 9.

Number 11 is a snake, but a different one than what you listed.

It used to be the copperhead so that doesn't count?

Is it now something gay like the garter snake?

Something tells me that the answer to #3 would be enormous.

Can throw Miami in there :)

I would guess that the state reptile is the black snake

I knew I was forgetting a big one but is Miami considered a state school?

I mean there is a school in Zanesville called Zane State College, does that count?

Throw Miami in Thump's list and there are only three other universities. (I'm not counting the community colleges as state universities).
