The rules of harmonising

Why don't you get answers of the form:

 ('Wisconsin', 'Kory New') 
   <-> ('Wisconsin', 'New Kory') 
   <-> ('Wisconsin', 'New York') 
   <-> ('Wisconsin', 'Wen Kory') 
   <-> ('York New', 'Wisconsin')

Off the top because Wisconsin was one of the original states. Or put another way ('Wisconsin', 'New Kory') -> ('Wisconsin', 'New Kory') - the new pair doesn't count as "two other U.S. States" --Dgamey 11:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dgamey, I paired Wisconsin with:

 'Kory New'
 'New Kory'
 'New York'
 'Wen Kory'
 and 'York New'

As they don't seem to be duplicates of each other. If the harmonisation where to equate states of two or more words if the individual words are the same, then I could then see that 'New York' is equivalent to 'York New', and 'Kory New' === 'New Kory', but I am not sure of this from the task definition. --Paddy3118 13:57, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
