Good one Marc.
Ouch. Thanks for pointing out that us Americans don't know any geography outside our own country, even when talking about our closest friend and neighbor. I was only able to get Mask and Neon without the hint. Not only do I not know the postal codes for Canadian provinces, I did not know the Canadian provinces.
Excellent teaser! I live with my shame.
