knbrain Jan 09, 2005	I liked that. Living near the lakes It was easy for me but It might be harder if you don't live near.
letizia815 Feb 08, 2005	i got it but did not like it!!!!!!!!!
elyse Mar 08, 2005	I'm originally from Detroit and didn't get it! Nice! Good teaser!
swimmer4life292 Mar 25, 2005	that was really good!!! props mr gr8 lakes!!!
horse_luver Mar 26, 2005	Well it's actually a "miss", but I'll take the compliment anyway
Winner4600 Jan 15, 2006	For the most part, only US residents would know this one...but I'm not complaining...
horse_luver Jan 15, 2006	Well, some Canadian residents too, like Lake Ontario?
Winner4600 Jan 15, 2006	right, horseluver! But people in, say, Turkey might not know... (Unless they love geography)
Brainy_1 Jan 16, 2006	I live by Lake Erie and did not get this right!! I am ashamed of myself! But great teaser by the way!!
horse_luver Jan 16, 2006	Winner: I don't think Braingle has a large population of Geography-hating Turkish people.
Winner4600 Jan 16, 2006	You do have a point there...
smiley_lover Mar 09, 2006	I live by Detroit and I didn't get it! but then again i dont like geography...
dalfamnest Nov 03, 2009	That's a really good Equation Teaser. Thanks. Trouble is, there have been so many totally trivial ones (in my H O) that I don't know whether to persevere. I spent a long unsuccessful time on one only to find it was finalists in a USA sports competition. If this standard can be brought back, I'll be happier! And you might be surprised at the geographical knowledge beyond your shores!
