5/7 but I haven´t heard anything about this topics in Spanish news, so it´s difficult to know the answers, it´s more a question of intuition I think.

Dear Aitor, you're right, these are international news from the BBC website. You've got the BBC International News feed in our blog (right column, top of page) bringing you always the latest headlines. But intuition surely helps a lot!

Hi everybody!! ~4/7~ I've just heard of one question on Spanish TV, the magic condom that you can don in just one second. I watch the technique on TV and it's really useful.

PS: News said It's just on sale in South Africa.

Oh, sorry!!! I've forgotten to congratulate Ferran on this blog. I think it´s a goog idea and it´s really interesting and, above all, useful.

Aitor and Ferran,
6/7 on the BBC News’ quiz, but this doesn’t mean I have super powers.
Yes, this quiz was difficult, but if the meaning of all this is to practice our English, to get new vocabulary and in general, to have a closer relation with the language, I think the best is to look for the answers and not knowing them by heart.
What I did was looking for the answers at the International version of the BBC News. In this way I had to read a lot, to look for new words in the Word Reference Dictionary, and to read in depth some news I wouldn’t have paid attention to in other circumstances.
Aitor, lets ask Ferran if he allows you to bring your Berimbau and play for us. It would be gorgeous.
