    "Something stinks in Denmark" sounds like a literal translation of the line "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" from Shakespear's Hamlet.

    I'm pretty sure it is. In German, it's "Da ist etwas faul im Staate Dänemark", so I'd bet it's just the same in any language that does Shakespear

    I knew the Spanish ones and guessed at all the rest - 23/28. Some of the ones in other languages seemed somewhat logical, and some were completely unhinged XD Fun quiz!
