What's the equal sign for?
SLOTMACHINE, try 31 countries
Greenland,USA, Mexico, Canada... hello there's alot more than 3
WOW, why was this teaser ever accepted?
Agree, this is very wrong, not even close to being correct, it Greenland, Central American and the Carribean are all considered North America. This teaser should be removed.
Even if the teaser should be removed, PLEASE DON'T make corrections that look like this:
Teaser: 3 = C in N A
Answer: 3 Countries in North America
Wrong, there are over 30 Countries in North America.
I find this is very ignorant, as if you are going to correct a teaser, CORRECT it. Change the number in the teaser, don't add a note declaring it's WRONG. That would not be smart, as it would DEFINITELY not be approved. As a matter of fact, I will attempt to change it now. If it doesn't work, complain to Jake, but don't submit bogus corrections!!!

I have corrected this teaser (changed it from 3 to 23 countries). Some suggest there are over 30, but those are actually territories and not countries on their own.
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
