Many of the inventions we take for granted sprang from the minds of European tech pioneers and this week’s quiz celebrates their achievements.
Every country in Europe, it seems, has had its tech pioneers, and we’ve rounded up a good handful of them here for your entertainment. It might be our most obscure quiz so far, or maybe the most educational.
