Correction to Question 22 - "Who invented the telephone?" From Library of Congress's website (link below): "Antonio Meucci, an Italian immigrant, began developing the design of a talking telegraph or telephone in 1849. In 1871, he filed a caveat (an announcement of an invention) for his design of a talking telegraph. Due to hardships, Meucci could not renew his caveat. His role in the invention of the telephone was overlooked until the United States House of Representatives passed a Resolution on June 11, 2002, honoring Meucci’s contributions and work. You can read the resolution (107th Congress, H Res 269) on Congress.gov." www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/technology/item/who-is-credited-with-inventing-the-telephone/ Thanks to @herrwar for pointing this out!
