Okay, here’s this weeks trivia challenge. The category is “inventors.”
1. “I was an engineer that was imprisoned by King Minos. My son tried to use my best know invention and died in the process.”
2. “I was an inventor, painter and philosopher. I am best known for my painting of an average woman with a great smile. In 1485, I sketched and pondered ways to achieve the goal that ties me to this group.”
3. “We (yes, I need two names on this one) were brothers and inventors. Our invention was full of hot air and in 1783, the first ’passengers’ to test our invention were a sheep, rooster and duck.
4. ”I was a German engineer and in 1981, my invention was the first of it’s kind to carry human ‘passengers.’
5. “We also were brothers and inventors (two names, again). In 1903, we became the first to to achieve the goal that ties us to this group. Actually, only one of us got full credit, because it just happened to be his turn.”
Okay, this one is a little harder, but hopefully, I’ve given enough clues for you all to get it. Good luck!
1. Daedalus
2. Leonardo da Vinci
3. Jacques-Etienne & Joseph Michel Montgolfier
4. Eugen Sanger
5. Orville & Wilbur Wright
Oh yeah. Their common link is that their inventions had to do with flight or air travel.
I’m out! I’m not even gonna try on this one.
Crap!
Okay, Stacy. Close, but no cigar. You did get the category and six of the seven folks on the list. Keep trying. You’re really close.
As for you other two players, you can upset the whole thing by correcting one mistake. I’m just saying.
