Answer

C: Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera

My guess would be Frida Kahlo and Diego Revera, but no way I make that my final answer. Plus One.

[K.P.]

Heartbreaking that he was right there with the right answer. Knowing that Trotsky died in Mexico is not something everybody knows. If only he had trusted his logic a little more. I think if he could at least ballpark when Trostsky died, he'd have gone for it.

Providing I'm still alive, so far so good,

Answer

C: Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera

Mike was introduced as a trivia buff who had prepared 14 years (significantly, not 16 years, from when WWTBAM first aired) for this show, but he walks away from this question!?

His recall about where Trotsky died should have been enough, but even without that, how could he seriously consider the other choices? An exiled Russian revolutionary living with the Royal Family? With the Fuhrer? Or with Hollywood movie stars?

How do you know he's not? Do you think every Salma Hayek fan saw Frida?

That question was rhetorical
