I enjoy matching wits with contestants on 'Jeopardy' on occasion and found at least one occasion where I knew I would have been first to buzz in. The answer was "In 19xx the German company Festool were the first to make a gas powered one of these."

Of course, I could envision myself saying, "Actually, Alex, the company was known as Festo back then. Festool became the name of the tool division spunoff in the nineties. Festo remains as the industrial corporation specializing in pneumatics and manufacturing automation, etc.etc. etc. Your researchers should know these things, yada,yada, yada....." (as I am dragged off the stage and they cut to a commercial.)  ::) [bite tongue]

Of course you would have been buzzed out as incorrect since you didn't put your answer in the form of a question. ;D

Nah, Steve, everything in my life is in the form of a question.  [unsure]
