1712, Thomas Newcomen

Jesmond got it first!

ILU Wikipedia!

Congrats, Jesmond! ^^

Yay, Jesmond!

Thanks, guys. x3

Second question!

Like the steam engine, many attempts to create an automobile were made before a successful one was invented. The creator of this "first car" later went on to create a car company that still exists today. What was the name of this primitive automobile, and what was its patent number?

Go Jesmond! :)

Karl Benz, #37435

Motorwagen, 37435

Damn, I put the name, not the car. OTL

I need the full name of the car. :yes:

Benz Patent Motorwagen?

Along with the patent number, please. :)

Dang. XD
Benz Patent Motorwagen, 37435

Benz Patent Motorwagen #37435

Jesmond got it!

I also would have accepted "The Karl Benz Patent Motorwagon." Along with the correct patent number, of course.

xD

Congrats, Jes! :D

Wow, I couldn't find anything for that round, my Google skills failed. OTL
Good job, guys!

Thanks~ X3
