    Nice one! Took me a long time to figure out that there were DK rebuses but after that it mostly came together quickly 😊

        Nice puzzle. The amount of names and American stuff made it extra hard, though. Also, treinta minutos was an impossible clue for me, as a Spanish native. Would never have guessed it without help.

          I'm sorry about that! I thought "medio" was equivalent to "half past" when telling time? Should I just say "Half past (Sp.)" or something like that?
          • Fran 29:06 · 2021-07-10T03:33:22.533Z
            It's ok! Spanis is weird. What I thought when I saw it was "media hora", which could at most be reduced to "media". But that's a loooong stretch, I think. The difference may not seem like much, but it is! It's like saying "my name _ Fran" and expecting the answer to be "are".

          Dang it! I knew there was a rebus with FIRSTAIDKIT but thought it was the AI for some reason. Obviously DK makes a lot more sense!
          • Fran 29:06 · 2021-07-10T03:39:35.633Z
            Sorry continuing in another comment. For "medio", problem is that many "half" clues could also tie to "mitad". Unique clues could be "growth medium, for a spanish researcher"; or "Ranma y _, for latinamerican kids", as a reference to an old popular anime.
