Legends have it that: -

When Bunuel sat for the GMAT, the NASA's supercomputer was called for to adapt to his level but it couldn't.

When Bunuel sat for his GMAT, he got a Q100 with 38 minutes to spare.

There was a time when Bunuel actually found the quant section of the GMAT slightly challenging.. Apparently however, you can't give the GMAT while you still an embryo

When Bunuel started preparing for the GMAT, he used to take notes in a diary. Today that diary is called OG.

Also, as per legend, Bunuel can count to infinity.

Well, I know that the mosquitos in Mexico refuse to bite Bunuel, just out of respect.

I also hear that the Holy Grail is looking for him.

Legends have it (a few inspirational quotes from a recent MBA chat on GMAT Club)

1. When Bunuel finishes his GMAT, Round 1 starts
2. After Bunuel finishes his GMAT, only 5 B Schools are eligible to invite him to interview for free. Rest have to pay.
3. Bunuel's quant test had 37 experimental questions.

Keep adding, folks :D

Hi everyone, this one is off topic, but I bet everyone have asked themselves this question before..

Who is Bunuel???

I mean is it someone hired by gmatclub.com? Is it someone who just likes GMAT a lot? Is it a person or a group of people?

Admins or Bunuel, tell us more about yourself!

I think that so many people would like to know a bit more about the resident math wizard!

Cheers!

I think even Google might have searched for Bunuel to pay him for his incredible search hits. I hope he lives for another 100 years for my grandchildren's children to be able to see him online, almost all the time.
Thanks a tonne to the Legend !!!

Bunuel is a masked crusader who saves unsuspecting, naive business school applicants from depths of quant hell. But alas, he could not save them from themselves.

Wow. I have not seen that post for many years. Thanks for digging it out. It is like a message one wrote to themselves from the past.

PS. I now get your point about money - we developed tests and started selling them a few years after starting the site. It was a way to pay for development though at first it was only only enough to pay for hosting.
