People in History A-Z #6

I like how you've continued this series. At first I was like, "Ugh, history!" but these quizzes are truly fun!

Nice quiz. Pls accept 'Schroedinger' as an anglicised spelling of the German umlaut.

Thanks

Never heard of this Valli bloke - when I read "Four Seasons" I had already typed Vivaldi before reading the rest of the question.

Kim should be under K, not I (and Kim should be accepted as an answer, since usually the last name is accepted). Otherwise, nice series!

To write a² + b² = c² then write the following with the spaces removed: a < sup > 2 < /sup > + b < sup >2 < / sup > = c < sup > 2 < / sup >

Everyone here is listed by surname except your M answer which goes by his first name, which threw me off.

I didn't notice it was an A-Z quiz so probably missed a couple that I could have guessed. Also took me forever to get Logie-Baird. I kept writing Bogie-Laird.

Galileo was not condemned to death, but to imprisonment, which was commuted into house arrest (Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake however). Also, he was not condemned for blasphemy, but for being "vehemently suspect of heresy".

Osama bin Laden shouldn’t be under L, because ‘Laden’ or ‘bin Laden’ is a patronymic, not a surname in the Western sense. His full name was Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden al-Qahtani, with al-Qahtani being the hereditary surname. Potentially a better answer for ‘Q’ than Dennis Quaid. But Quaid did star in Lindsey Lohan’s debut ‘The Parent Trap,’ as well as GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ and even appeared in an episode of SpongeBob Squarepants, so I certainly won’t dispute his own historical significance.
