  1. If 49 across is supposed to mean that “Main” is a common state, I would point out that the state name is spelled “Maine”, which is why the answer to 24 across is “ME”.

    I would also like to ask what makes one state more “common” than another? Common to whom? Here in the southwest United States, Maine is not very common at all, believe it or not.

    Therefore, considering the strangeness of the question, and the misspelling of the state’s name, the question for 49 across is misleading. That’s all.

    Oh, and why is “ONE” green and tender? A numeral is a numeral. They don’t have colors and firmness.

  2. “ST”, the answer for 49 across, stands for “street” (Main Street, a very common street name), not “state.”
    It seems that 8 down could also be “ESE.”

    • I’m looking at a couple right now and they’re white. Same as they’ve always been. However, the reverse side has a lot of green ink on it.
