    I got 10/12 from just guessing.

    10/12 for me too. I consider that better than normal guessing for me. I had no clue! By the way, your link didn't work for me. This one did:

      12/12 for me. It was sort of easy. Just look for the ones that look like poor translations to English.

              Thanks Hank that link worked better. 11/12 on the coach or dictator quiz. I missed on the Idi Amin quote.

                  12/12, though I only actually recognized the last one...

                  And, as much as the guy is a nut job, I'm not sure that Ahmadinejad is really in the same dictator ballpark as the others... He's the second fiddle ruler in his country while he's in power, not able to really call the shots...
