Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:
Not an original test. Questions, answers, explanations were copied from an existing test. E.g.: “#q2” <= https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/gk-quiz-on-famous-scientists-and-their-inventions-1549869602-1#:~:text=2.,the%20father%20of%20plastic%20surgery%3F&text=Explanation%3A%20Sushruta%20is%20the%20founding,tradition%20of%20surgery%20in%20India., “#q3” <= http://ipracticeexam.com/questionbank/general-science/inventions-and-discoveries?page=3, etc.
I found some flaws:
Q8: Who invented Gunpowder?
But Roger Bacon was the first person in Europe to MAKE gunpowder, not invented it. Gunpowder was invented in 9th-century China by Tang Dynasty Chinese alchemists.
