Answer 1

This brain teaser could be referring to any number of things. It could be referring to a group of people, such as world-class athletes or academics, who are seen as contenders for awards or recognition on a global scale. It could also be referring to a group of countries that are seen as having a strong influence on the global stage. It could even be referring to a group of companies that are seen as having a large international reach. Ultimately, the answer to this brain teaser is open to interpretation.

Answer 2

Yap the key words in that brain teaser is global,  so the answer to that question  is moon and mercury  because those celestial bodies  are being seen  by several  planets in our solar system making them to be global contenders......
