    This one is even easier:

    "one doesn't know (what to do) and the other doesen't remember (how to do it"

    Hi, everyone!

    I agree with you, Sandra: the diversity of the many varieties of Spanish can sometimes be surprising . As Mer has already posted, in Argentina, we would use those two expressions (this one being more colloquial than the other one: "¿Cuánto te salió?").

    I'm also looking forward to know whether you use different expressions or would accept some other option in Mexico...

    Regards!
    Guadalupe
