Question 1 of 10

1. In the 18 "Amazing Postal CODE" Quizzes, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 letter words were MADE by adding Postal CODE state abbreviations together (e.g., MADE and CODE). In the 3 "Postal CODE Plus" quizzes, codes were combined to make 3 and 5 letter words (e.g., CAR).
This time the answers will be words with one code inside another (hence "Inside Edition"); for example a prefix for "chute" or "medic" would be PARA, Arkansas (AR) inside Pennsylvania (PA).
The first word in this quiz means average and is also a man's nickname.
