We will just go to what could be thought:

7 continents:

- North America

-South America

-Antarctica

-Africa

-Europe

-Asia

-Australia

Here the "American landmass" is counted as 2 and the "European-Asian landmass" is counted as 2 landmasses.

6 continents:

- North America

-South America

-Antarctica

-Africa

-Eurasia

-Australia

Here the "European-Asian landmass" is counted as 1 landmass.

Alternate to the 6 continents version is the one where Europe and Asia are separated and the "American landmass" is counted as 1 landmass.

The American "combined" landmass is separated by a human made waterway made through a narrow strip of land.

5 continents:

- America

-Antarctica

-Africa

-Eurasia

-Australia

Here the "European-Asian landmass" and the "American landmass" are both counted as 1 big land mass.

4 continents:

-America

-Antarctica

-Afro-Eurasia

-Australia

Here the "African-Eurasian" landmass is counted as 1. With the same argument (see 6 continents) used to combine the "American" landmass.

Apparently there is another map that says all the Landmasses are so narrowly connected they could be considered as 1, the 'dymaxion map'.

Well, we have given you options to choose from, so you decide which one is right.
