Being a lover of all things medieval, I'm in love with those famous lovers Abelard & Heloise (about whom numerous books have been written, and there's at least one film...) and with obscure scientific and pseudo-scientific instruments. So if I were a quiz show writer, I'd have to throw in this wicked one that I made up years ago, maybe for $1 million:
What was the name of the son of the famous medieval philosopher Pierre Abelard and his lover Heloise?
1) Astrolabe
2) Alembic
3) Sextant
4) Orrery
I've never seen this one anywhere, anyhow in any trivia contest universe. Let me know if you see it.
Oh--you actually want the answer???
