I'm Chilean and first thought of Belgium, but would've "corrected" myself thinking Brazil would be the most common answer, it's like a reverse, whatever anyone calls where they live the game where you gotta fill multiple categories with the same letter.

[@emdove]

The first thing I thought of was Berlin. My standard first thought whenever “something with b” comes up (we call that game “City, Country, River” btw, even though those categories don’t have to be in the game). Guess where I’m from 😌 Then I thought Bulgaria, Belarus and finally Brazil which would’ve been my best bet.

As a spooky bisexual, Addams is the only answer

[@DrZaius3141]

As a teacher, let me just tell you that "gym" is in fact the correct answer. Art involves a lot of preparation (depending on the type of art), but it does come second here. Music would be third, but history is extremely difficult, because without studying it properly, you need about 2 hours of research for every lesson if you want to adequatly put things into context. I say that as someone who studied their first language and mathematics to teach - both of which are also rather time consuming without the proper education beforehand.
