Solve a Puzzle

This teaser kind of leaves you thinking about a million different things... it is therefore hard to come up with the answer unless you know what "R Ns" are.
I like to call this type of teaser a "gamble" The answer is SOOOO obvious, and so logical, that you don't know if it will be a .09er or a real stumper. It turns out that not too many think of it and kick themselves after they give up. (And if it stumps you, regardless of the answer, you should be honest). I like this one!
It is a good puzzle but it would be fairer to put it in the trick category. It is hardly a letter equation.
I hate to disagree with ya Jimbo (especially after all your help), but I think this is good as a LE. In fact, I think Rose Rox might have pulled off a classic. This one is unique in that we should probably all know it. But it's how your're thinking that makes the differnce. (I was thinking too hard).
I think it shows in the low Fun Factor rating (at this point), becuase folks translated their own disappointment in not solving it to it not being fun. Which is really a lame thing to do. (IMO)
Aw, thanks, Codammanus =)
YAY i knew that one hehe one of the few
