AMBIGRAM of "OHIO"
This ambigram looks the same forward or backward (mirror image), right-side-up or up-side-down. It's even possible to
write "OHIO" so it still says "OHIO" when it's tilted 90°! Check it out.
Also here.
Any way you look at it, this is OHIO.
Do you know the old riddle, "Which state is oval?" The answer is Ohio, because "OHIO" is round at both ends and "HI" in the middle.
Teachers, it's just a giddy coincidence that in recent presidential elections,
Ohio has been a "swing state"
. ;^)
