I see what's happening, but I can't think of one word to explain it.

Elementary!

Nope. I know why you say this, but it isn't a "trick" puzzle that way.

I wasn't really expecting it to be, but I felt honourbound to make the obvious answer so that somebody would.

Gold. :-)

pecunium helped.

A little. I just new the states, the postal code, and figured out what to do with the numbers

She made the connections.

So I guess this is me making an "Au shucks"

If we are right we've set a new standard.

The states is step 1, yes. But, no postal/zip code is used.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

My apologies on saying "not postal code". To me, a postal code is "K1R 7A6" and when you said postal code I mentally translated to "zip code" and there was no use of zip codes.

But, yes, it did use the postal abbreviations for the states.

It sounds like you headed the right direction... but that's not it.

I recognize which states are represented by the outlines right way. I don't recognize the connection that the puzzle seeks, even if it doesn't like too many capitals. I don't get the title, in this case.
