Archimedes is the guy who said "Eureka!" when he figured out how to calculate mass as his body displaced water in the bathtub (or something like that). So that's a guy quoting a Greek, displaying an American invention, and having a Russian idea, I suspect. I love this international site!!! :)

Not Edison - sorry. Edison refined the idea - In 1841 a British inventor named Frederick DeMoleyns patented a bulb with burners made of platinum and carbon.
Edison joined the fray in 1879!

You can have the lightbulb, John, if it will brighten the night of Britain's last gasps. ;D

A bit tricky to finish off. As Alan Partridge might say... "Ah-hah!"

Guy flipping the bird at Archimedes, DeMoleyns, and Edison.
