If 8 is Canada, 2 is Mexico, 4 is the Pacific Ocean and 6 is the Atlantic, what # is the U.S.A.?
Answer
The United States would be 5. Use the number pad on a keyboard as a reference, and the United States in the centre as 5:8 has an arrow pointing up, so it would be Canada, because it is north.
2 has a down arrow, so it's south which is Mexico.
4 points west, which is the Pacific.
6 points east, so its the Atlantic.
In the middle of all these is 5.

doesn't anyone like my teaser? sure, people voted and gave it good marks, but they didn't feel that it was good enough for a comment! o well
good teaser! i said that u.s.a. was number one, for obvious reasons, but i guess that that isn't really a teaser...
Nice one, I couldn't get it, read the answer and enjoyed it, thank you keep it up!

Very good teaser. At first I thought it had something to do with the letters, but eventually (like, 20 minutes later) I figured it out
Good teaser, I got it but it was a very clever way to solve...

Easy but fun!!
you should add (teaser not applicable in europe) haha.
Shouldn't it be 4, 5, and 7? Alaska and Hawaii are part of the United States, too!
Nice teaser! Almost started overthinking it.
I haven't commented for a while, but I can't pass this one up. The U.S. is #1. If your from the U.S. and you said otherwise,you should be exported!!!
Interesting teaser - nice job!
I was way off in left field in my thinking.
Loved Doehead's comment and I completely agree with HIS/HER thinking!

Sorry, Doehead - I guess Doe is a female. once again, not thinking!
That one was nice! I loved it!
I got it but wasn't thinking of a 10-key. Great teaser!
I also said #1, but missed the whole keypad thing.
What a good teaser! I thought, simple, it's 20!!!
