Really easy teaser
Really easy teaser
the question asks how many meters in "a kilometer", not in "kilometer". I know it is in trick, but the improper use of grammar of the question negates the possibility of the answer given, as "A kilometer" unless accentuated by speech marks or commas it reference to the unit of measurement, not just the word.
I agree with Mad-Ade. With the wording you provided, 1,000 is a more than valid answer. Good try, though!
i didn't have a problem with the answer in fact thats the answer i thought of first
I understood the trick when i saw the hint (:
I have to agree. It should have been how many meters in kilometer.
That was an easy one! Anyway, it was fun..but I believe you need to edit it. I mean there's 0 'meters' in 'kilometer'! I mean 'kilometer' doesn't have an 's'...it only has meter but not kilometer.... Anyway it's ok...

Easy, but it was fun!
I think the wording is fine. The real question being asked is how may "meter"'s there are in "a kilometer". The answer, of course, is one.
The question is in a Kilometer, not "A Kilometer" the speech marks make all the difference. With out the speech marks, it is a measurement.
Go correct it... anyway you think it should.
I dont get u Mad ade.
If I correct the teaser, it just makes the submitters lazy by not submitting propery worded teasers.

I got this one! It was very easy, the trick in it was kind of obvious and I've heard one's like this many times before.
I said none because "meters" isn't in Kilometer. Meter is. But ohh well. Great job. Keep making teasers!!!!!!!!!!!
dats real easy
Good one though

Mad-ade, I agree with you, but wold you rather let your pride get in the way of correcting a teaser. If you won't do it, I will.
I figured the wording was too easy/straightforward to be anything else than "1 meter". Phrasing can always be better, but sometimes we waay overthink things.
I agree with Mad-ade, maybe change it to "per kilometer?"
