informational!
Very creative, good job with this one. Keep them coming as it's a very good teaser, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
nice to know the info, but i never would have guessed that!!
I consider myself a "dog loaded with cheese" but i didn't manage to get it! It was a really great teaser and very informative. Just how i like them. Don't be so mean Llama-lover. LOL
Good one, got methough, keep them coming
Nice teaser. I just started using dictionary.com with this site, and I was able to get the answer. I looked up all of the places using dictionary's encyclopedia. Yes, I knew it would pay off!!!!! I got the whole spiritual leaders concepts when I looked up Lunbini and Porbunder...I also know what crass means now. In case anyone wants to know, "crass" is just a fancy word for crude or vulgar...... Now, I'm always going to have dictionary.com open when I go on Braingle. I can't believe it paid off. I was never good at geography ,but with some research, I got the answer.I originally opened it up just to learn what some of the words in the brain teasers meant. I wish I'd opened it sooner. Very useful. . So, if you're having trouble with the geography teasers, dictionary.com is also useful for that. It's a one-stop website. Just goes to show that with a little knowledge, the code may be easier to crack(I don't if that's a real quote, or if there's a similar quote). Without a split-second decision, I wouldn't know the answer to this teaser either.
I originally opened the site to learn about all the interesting words I see in the brain teasers on this website. PEACE!!!!!

Didn't use a dictionary or the hint. I am quite surprised I got it right since I was just guessing and didn't have a clue. Good one.
:?Ummmmmmmm........ I don't get Christmas as the hint b/c that celebrates the birth of Christ. But great teaser as far as relationships. I still don't get Christmas.
I had no clue
