I missed 6. Two of them stupidly.

I'M IMPRESSED.. missed 5. a couple were lucky guesses. I don't do that well on US history.

Missed 3, including the one about Pres candidates (inexcusable) and 2 other brain farts,
Pedos de sesos?

By the way how DOES Brain Fart translate to Spanish?

I'd go with pedo de mente.

I need to learn more.

I got 4 wrong but should have gotten 3 wrong had I paid attention to my girlfriend.

26 right and 7 wrong (79%)
 

91%....missed 3 on purpose.    ....(now what was the purpose?)    

I got to the question about actors and asked the question
"is this a quiz about Mexico or Hollywood" ?
At that stage, as I could not answer that question, I moved on to other things    

I got 12 wrong but I learned a lot. Interesting.

Ahhh do we grade on the curve ?? :-)

Gael Garcia Bernal is a very well known Mexican actor and actors are part of the culture, on top of it he is from Guadalajara so no excuse!  .
Never seen Amores Perros, El crimen de Padre Amaro, Y tu Mama tambien , Diaros de motocicleta, Babel, La mala educación just to mention a few. Hard to know an educated Mexican who would not know his work .

Gael Garcia Bernal is also one of the stars in the Gillette "Masters of Style" ad. We've all seen this ad a hundred times or more. Like Brigitte says, "So no excuse."

I'm more of an Emilio Fernandez fan.     

Did you know that Fernandez was the original model for the Oscar statue?

I thought it was some celeb's "uncle Oscar".     
I know the Brit, Burton, supposedly drank him under the table, when it came to Tequila (or any other alcoholic beverage).

According to Wiki, you are absolutley correct,....pushed into the "job" by Dolores Del Rio....posed in the nude.
