I'm speechless....but with a smile
That was cool. Icouldn't have cracked it without the hint
I like it!
The only way to get the prime number.
And the only country that fits.

I couldn't get the answer because I consider "Y" to be a vowel. Great teaser aside from that.
Excellent!
Not a bad teaser, but it might have been good to make this multiple choice. Even if I had figured out how each country got it's value and thought of a bunch of countries trying to figure it out, I probably wouldn't have even remembered a country named Cyprus.
Wow, that's a great teaser! I didn't get the answer, but I understood how to get the answer after the hint, just coming up with Cyprus is the hard part. Thanks.
I would have never been able to come up with Cyprus...not in a million years. But wow...a teaser that is still making me think, 'no other number 5's?'
Great Teaser!
Loved the teaser! despite everyone's comments I did get the answer after the hint... was fun!
Fantastic Griphook. Luckily for me I don't actually recall editing this one so I got to solve it without knowing the answer. Great teaser and I even impressed myself by solving it!... as these sorts are not my forte

HARDDDD
not bad griphook, quite easy to structure though
thanks
Good one. After struggling with various methods of weighting and summing letters (all to no avail), I suddenly noticed that CHAD had three consonants and one vowel. For me, once the formula was found, getting CYPRUS took about a minute or two.
