Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
For all those who enjoyed ordering scenes in When Harry Met Sally, I bring you another in a series of timeline quizzes, this one dealing with inventions. Think you know which came first, the Hacky Sack or the computer mouse? The safety pin or bi-focals? Give this Inventions Timeline quiz a whirl and find out!
I got 4 out of 9. But in all the wrong answers, I was only stumped by one invention. Better than I expected going into this one!

I also got 4 out of 9. I was close on some of the wrong ones, though…
I would suggest adding the years of all these inventions on the answer page. I guess I could look them all up, but I prefer to leave the research to the experts! :)

Can’t believe I got 8 out of 9! Who knew I knew?

6 out of 9, but should have been 7….I got the letters confused in my head on one of the answers. DOH! A really fun quiz!
