Did  all  this  work  and  lost  Oregon  in  the  mix  (did  not  erase as might  be useful)
.
Let  me  try  ANOTHER  WAY,  basically  we  have  7  choices,  to  guess  the  correct  one  with 3 questions
.
to  save  writing  let  us  just  use  1 to  7  as  our  options.
.
The  first  question  is,,,,is  option  = or  > 4
.
if  NO,,,see  below
if  yes,  then  ask  2nd  question, ,,,,,,,,,,, is  option >5 
.
If  YES  ask  3rd  question,,,, is  it  6,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if  NO,,ask  3rd  question, is  it  4
if  YES  ,  option  6  is  selection,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if  YES, option 4  is  selection
if  NO,,,option  7  is  selection,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if  NO,  option 5 is  selection
.
If  answer  to  question 1 is  NO,  ask  2nd  question,  is it  2
if  YES,  option 2 is  selection,
if  NO,  ask  question 3,  is  it  1
If  YES  is  the  answer, option  1  is  selection
If  NO  is  answer,  option 3 is  selection
.
Rather  than  go  back  and  use  locations,  just  set  up  substitution list ,,#1 = Washington,  #2 = Oregon  etc,  and  then  substitute  back after  you  get  answer.
