Notes on the answers, and a fact contains spoilers
A code is not always the first two letters of the name. AK is Alaska and not Arkansas, MO is Missouri and not Montana, and MS is Mississippi. The two-letter codes date from 1963, when the Post Office introduced ZIP codes and needed room for them on the address line.
