Okay, here are some inventors for you, some easier than others. A couple of them produced at least two well known inventions, so a point for each invention. Another point if you can give their country of birth.

1. Harry Coover, 1917-2011.
2. Humphry Davy, 1778-1829.
3. William Addis, dates unknown. Invention about 1780.
4. Raymond Kurzweil, 1948-present.
5. Alexander Fleming, 1881-1955.
6. Jean-Joseph Etienne Lenoir, 1822-1900.
7. Montgolfier brothers, 1740-1810.
8. Adophe Sax, 1814-1894.
9. Faust Vrancic, 1551-1617.
10. Edwin Beard Budding, 1795-1846.
