Are there any sounds in outer space?
The answer to last week’s quiz is: The placement of keys on typewriter/computer keyboards was first used by Christopher Latham Sholes, who invented the typewriter in 1868. The keys were first arranged alphabetically, but that caused the type bars to clash at the printing point. When frequently used combinations of letters were separated mechanically to avoid this problem, the result on the keyboard was QWERTY. (Source: Old Farmers Almanac)
