What are the 6 continents of the Six Continents Group plc?

Hi,

What are the 6 continents of the IHG group's previous name six continents group? Is it:

Europe
Asia
Oceania
Africa
Middle East
America

Sometimes I saw N. America and S. America are separately listed, and then sometimes I saw Middle East and Africa are combined together in a link in IHG's website.

Oceania and Australia are the same

5,6 and 7 continent general models are listed at http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/continents.htm ( with 5 being the basis for rings on Olympic Flag )

Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Europe would make 6

Middle East is not a continent

A 7 continent model ( and used as basis by OneWorld (at least) for its Continent based ATW ticket, splits America into North America and South America ; given that IHG has never ( afaik ) had properties in Antartica would be the one that I assume that it used

So 'Middle East' belongs to 'Africa' continent?

It depends on which specific country as to which continent it is part of
