I had no clue on Q6. After I had sent my results in I asked Ray (retired Electrical Engineer) and he said God, I dunno, Was it Edison or Faraday? 😏 Still I don't care. Far more important to know the name of Simon Cowells son @Mi-Amigo @pgn

Go me guessing Q6!

First names that came to mind were Edison and Tesla but went with Tesla.

Another guy from Tesla's neck of the woods also features in the AC/DC debate and patents: Otto Bláthy - so my logic was the American battle between Westinghouse and Edison General Electric would have ended with which of 'em could buy, beg or steal the existing patents... Seems to be the way, @gmarkj.

Then again, so long as we remember the name of Simon Cowell's son, we're good, as @Cleoriff said up there somewhere 😉🤣

Great quiz, but perhaps best to leave AC/DC questions to the band rather than the pioneers of power @Mi-Amigo 🤣

Well done all who dipped into that one, t'was a shocker and no doubt 😮😉

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for another good, but tricky quiz.

I was also torn between Westinghouse/Tesla but chose the correct one, more luck than anything else.

Well done all who took part.....

Cleoriff · ‎25-08-2021

I have no problems with questions I can't answer @pgn . TBF I couldn't even hazard a guess with Q6. I thought people would find Q2 more difficult. What a fool. 😂

Anyway it gave me a chance to use LukasB as the man who got the patent

Well done one and all and thanks again for a great quiz @Mi-Amigo
