If nothing else, I know you can name three Hispanic entertainers who are commonly known by a single name (I came up with only two - ¡qué vergüenza!).
These are just a sampling of the questions in the Latino History Quiz over on MySanAntonio.com. I truly love quizes like these. I do! Even though I didn't know the answers to half the questions on there. But you know why I love these little quizes? Because I get to learn the answers. And some of them (along with their questions) are fascinating.
That's why last year, I was excited to giveaway a set of Brain Quest's Hispanic America. ¿Y sabes qué? I had so much fun, I'm going to do it again this year.
THE GIVEAWAY
So once again, in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, I am giving away one of these awesome sets (pictured above). To enter, all you have to do is correctly answer 4 of the 12 Brain Quest questions listed at the end of this post. I tried to pick ones that were a mix of easy and hard...(Mwuah-ha-ha!) AND ones that weren't part of last year's giveaway (Awww!).
• For an additional entry, follow MommyMaestra on Facebook. Be sure to leave a separate comment letting me know that you did!
• Like last year, anyone able to answer all 12 questions earns the title "Supreme Trivia Master."
The deadline to enter is September 30th, at 11:59 pm EST. The winner will be chosen using Random.org and be notified via email. (Please be sure to provide a valid email address with your entry or some other way to contact you or your entry will be invalid.) The winner must have a valid United States mailing address.
¡Buena suerte!
And now for the questions:

5) Name the largest island in the Caribbean.
6) What is the Spanish title of the 1970s Carlos Santana hit that asks, "Hey, how's it going?"
7) En español, a student is an estudiante. What is a teacher? (I will be highly offended if any of you miss this one.)
8) Is a gaucho a South American cowboy or a Spanish vegetable soup?
9) Name the native country of the rock en español songwriter and singer Juanes. (Ay! Ladies, please, I can hear your screaming from here.)
10) In the Spanish novel of Don Quixote, what is the name of Don Quixote's sidekick?
11) Atahualpa was a ruler of Mesoamerica. Was he the emperor of the Aztecs or Incas?
12) Where did Ellen Ochoa go, where no Latina had gone before?
Bonus: Salgo means "I go out." How do you say, "I will go out?"
