Ikr. I just studied Swan recently so I knew the right answer but was surprised to see so few knew about him. Sad, really. Tesla has become a huge celebrity recently and has been memed into a much sexier, more intelligent, cooler rival to Edison who made better versions of all Edison's inventions and/or invented them first. The meme isn't even remotely accurate. While it's true they were rivals when it came to their systems of electrical current (AC vs DC), and that Tesla was a brilliant inventor whose contributions were largely forgotten till recently, Tesla never developed a lightbulb and the two didn't even intersect in any other invention. The sexy-Tesla meme is almost certainly the reason for all the wrong guesses.

6/10 and they were all pretty much (educated) guesses. I worked out green as the middle by reeling off the order of the colours of the 🌈.

3, 7, 8 & 9 were the ones where my guesses were wrong.

Got #8 correct because Biden once said a black guy invented the light bulb.

I figured it wasn't Bell or Santos-Dumont since they are associated with other inventions. I was tempted to pick Tesla but that seemed like it might be a trick, so I went with Swan. Glad I trusted my gut on this one!

Well done! I went with Tesla....kinda cuz of the movie 'The Prestige', with Tesla as a back-story, excellent, entertaining movie.

Wow, that was a hard one! 8/10, add could've been a lot worse, Q3 was a very lucky guess, as was Joseph Swan (knew it wasn't Tesla or Bell, but never heard of the other two). Missed Despicable Me and Blue.

A 'hard' one at 8/10... Wow, what are those standards!

I think this topic happens to be easy for me, though. 9/10 is already 99th percentile...

I was very lucky to manage the 8 haha, and so many of the ones I did get I had to sit and think about for a lot longer than usual, definitely not my forte today

It was tough today. I actually went with Bell simply because I think there was a little rivalry between them. I read AGB wanted to use the greeting "ahoy" when answering the phone and Edison suggested "hello".

Slow and steady will get you a 10/10, but it won't get you a very good score.

Aw I could have gotten 8/10 this time, but I got 7/10. I read the ninth question as the first LED color invented, not the last one (I knew that info already but got it wrong due to rushing).

Great daily challenge though, I like the light bulb theme!
