By the way, this looks more like a Mega-Generator Puzzle, mostly because it's not a 3x3 square like the other 12 in the series

Might want to rethink the university question- USC and Cal would also work, and probably several other UC schools.

Enjoyed the clues, but I found the locations directions confusing - "each of the two 4 x 2 blocks of letters on the left, colored blue and pink". One group of four went across, and one went up and down. I couldn't figure out how all the letters could be on the left. Also the colors must be off on my computer because none of them looked blue and pink - they were purple, orange, and aqua, although I realize that isn't your fault. Added to my abysmal knowledge of foreign countries, I'm lucky to have scored 13.

Have bulked out the instructions a little to hopefully cover the interesting colors issue!
