At a recent conference, the governor of Ohio and the governors of other states decided to propose state gems to accompany their state flowers, birds and songs. They agreed not to duplicate any choices. Because of variations in the legislative calendars, the new stones were chosen at different times. From the info provided, determine the order in which the states made the decisions, each states governor, and the stone chosen.
States: Iowa, Maine, Ohio, Texas

Very Good! Very very good!
i have to say it is good, lots of fun.. but not as hard as some of them... there are much harder.. this only took me 10 min to do when really hard ones take weeks.. its not right for u to have that high of a rating, but if people are too lazy to think i guess it has to be that high
Is something wrong with you (i'm saying this to the last comment person) i thought this puzzle was VERY fun!
It may have been easy but it was still fun to work it out. It is good to have easy ones mixed in with the hard ones - it balances out and lets everyone get a chance to solve a teaser!
Wow, Super Duper, I think it's kinda mean to call other people lazy. This one took me about 10 minutes, but with my busy life, 10 minutes is a lot. I liked this puzzle very much. I had to go through the clues several times to get the answer. I think it's a very good puzzle.
Fun stuff! The ratings don't correspond to difficulty, just how much it was enjoyed!
that was a fun one
too hard. can't get it. maybe i'll try it later.
Nice one. Harder than I thought it would be based on the few things to figure out.

i thought it was going to be easy, but had to start over once because i got confused. Wasn't a hard one, but was fun!
How fun...good Job...
Easier than the rating suggests, but I enjoyed it none the less...
Fun one! I'm running out of new logic grids to do, so I am going back to some of your easier ones. I still like it.
Even if this one is an "easy" one, yous till have to think quite a bit through it. There just aren't as many choices to get confused with. I like that you have to think, but there are so few possibilities. Made it fast.
Good and easy but not as easy as it appears at first Good Job Cinnamon!
This one was fun. I'm not sure if it's cuz I kept getting interrupted or what, but somehow I mixed up the ruby and garnet.
I have to agree with bobbyd. Sometimes you see a small puzzle and think you'll solve it in 30 seconds but this one was tougher than that!
i had do do it twice but it was fun
