The English translation does not work--at least for American English. You need to translate it as "there are only..." And yes, I'm aware of the theoretical difference between det är and det finns.

What's wrong with "There is..." or "There are..."? Sounds much more idiomatic than "It is". Trying to get these last few lessons to legendary is really frustrating because there are a few of these weird translations. It becomes a game of trying to remember/guess in which sentences and in which way the english grammar was "swedified", reporting, forgetting, failing the challenge, rinse and repeat.
