I'm an absolute cultural clod, apparently.

I would have gotten a few right if they had asked who invented the Widlar Current Source (Widlar), or who invented the Zener diode (Zener), or who discovered Kirchhoff's Current Law (Kirchhoff). Or whom Lagrangian Polynomial Interpolation is named after (Lagrange). Or the Ford F-150.

Who invented the Ford F-150?

OK, what did Zener eat for lunch on this date in 1906, huh?

Clessie Cummins?

Probably milk, since he would have been only 5 weeks old. That's what infants used to drink in Indiana.

If you trust wikid.

OK, NN, see if you can get this one: what tribe are the Honda Goldwing and the Chevy Silverado named after?

The half-tribe of Manasseh?

That is correct! And I thought for sure you would say the Chiricahua Apaches!

OK, flashing back to elementary school again here... Do you remember the song "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold"? I bet they sang that one in JJersey, no?

reverse biased PN junctions, of course.

Diodes were thermionic back then, and I doubt that Zener's mama had discovered the PN junction. But you never know -- he had to get his smarts from somewhere.
