Hint
Think about the flags.Answer
Canada is 4, since there are four geometric shapes on its national flag: two red rectangles, a white rectangle and the maple leaf. So, for example, this explains why the U.S.A. is 64 (50 stars, the blue rectangle which holds the stars, and 13 stripes).Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

That's a great teaser - I got it quite easily, but then I'm a flag-freak. There must be some with more than 64 ... Brazil and India come close - it looks like Turkmenistan has more but it's not really fair to count all those little squiggles. :-)
a rather good teaser, although the hint does make it quite easy.
I like this one. I don't consider flags TRIVIA.
Great job dumbell, keep it up!
Very Nice Teaser, Informative, and fun to do. Very good job. Hope to see more
