Question to the team of Challengers: "Who in the 17th century invented the submarine?"
As an avid viewer of the BBC's 6pm daily quiz programme I was amazed that the challenging team in the final session of the general knowledge round did not know the correct answer to the 3 possible choice options, which caused them to be the losers of the contest and not win the 'pot' of money which rolls over each day, and allowed the BBC's 'Eggheads' to retain their reputation.
Although some members of the challenging team had 'obviously' or 'assumedly' visited Specsavers, they had not visited the National Maritime Museum Cornwall... where they would have learned that the answer was Drebbel who was born in the Netherlands and employed by the British Navy partly in connection with the submarine about 1620.
