"Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford Research Institute invented the mouse in 1964 after extensive usability testing. Engelbart's team called it a "bug" — one of several experimental pointing-devices developed for Engelbart's oN-Line System (NLS)."
Lots of smart people have set out to solve a particular problem and come up with a great invention. This is a quiz to celebrate all those inventions that have just happened by mistake. Have fun.
