Good to see you back to making a quiz! Lol

Anyway, I'd recommend adding gorro and gorra for the hat answer. Those words are just as commonly (if not more) used for what we would call "hat" in English.

The country El Greco was born in is the Venetian Republic. You should add modern to the question or change the answer to be correct.

That twelfth/currently least guessed question could be rewritten, for me, as “who is Kendrick Lamar?” Lol

Having seen the answer I can see why I didn't know. Not my area of expertise at all, as you might have guessed.

You should check him out! He's the only music artist outside of the genres of classical and jazz to earn a Pulitzer Prize for his music. His 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly (which isn't even the project he won the Pulitzer for) is widely considered the best album of the 2010s decade. He's a generational artist for sure!

Wow you're so different! I'm very impressed that you don't understand popular culture references, probably due to how intelligent and studious you are. Let me know if you'd like more attention

I really do wonder how you think a person gets malaria. Do you think it is hereditary? or caused by something like a bad diet?
