Does "postre" literally mean "pudding desert" as us suggested by the test answer? I would have thought another word would have been needed, or perhaps "flan" would have worked instead of "postre"?

Only the first word is being spoken in this example.

Qué semana te vas de vacaciones?

What week are you going on vacation?

There are 52 weeks in a year.

Apparently, 52 is a large enough universe to use Qué and not Cuál.

If you wanted to say:  What day of the week is today?....

would you say Qué dia de semana es hoy? or Cuál dia de semana es hoy?

There are 7 days in a week.

Is 7 a small enough number to use Cuál? or....

Are you asking for a definition of the day and therefore Qué?

It would really help if the English translations were closer to the answer you're looking for, especially in this lesson where depending on whether you're in Latin America or Spain, people could choose either option and be correct.

This is the question from the quiz that I got wrong:

Hoy no _________________ a nadie interesante.I haven't met anybody interesting today.
I selected "he conocido" because that is the direct translation and it seems like that's what they'd say in Spain due to the timing. But in Latin America (which is my selected profile but I'm not sure that it actually impacts my quizzes or not), it would be "conoci".
If you translated it to "I didn't meet anyone interesting today", that would make sense in English and prompt the correct answer, would it not? Because it seems like based on this lesson, either answer is correct depending on what Spanish-speaking country you're in!
