that's a good one. it took me a minute my mind was thinking something in the other direction
I liked that. Living near the lakes It was easy for me but It might be harder if you don't live near.
i got it but did not like it!!!!!!!!!
I'm originally from Detroit and didn't get it! Nice! Good teaser!
that was really good!!! props mr gr8 lakes!!!
Well it's actually a "miss", but I'll take the compliment anyway
For the most part, only US residents would know this one...but I'm not complaining...
Well, some Canadian residents too, like Lake Ontario?
right, horseluver! But people in, say, Turkey might not know...

I live by Lake Erie and did not get this right!! I am ashamed of myself! But great teaser by the way!!
Winner: I don't think Braingle has a large population of Geography-hating Turkish people.
You do have a point there...
I live by Detroit and I didn't get it! but then again i dont like geography...
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!
