E: 26/09/07 10 Flugelbinder “World’s Smallest Kites”

Options
Thank to the wonderful guys at Livity we have Flugelbinder “World’s Smallest Kites” to give away to 10 lucky winners.

Question:

Mr Flugelbinder became very successful for inventing what?

a) The plastic bits on the end of a shoelace

b) The umbrella

c) The ringbinder




Question:
Put the correct letter/choice as your answer…




Answer: A



They chose the word flugelbinder to front this project as it comes from that classic scene in the movie 'cocktail' - when Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) and love interest Jordon Mooney (Elisabeth Shue) discuss the name of the person who invented the plastic bits one finds on the end of a shoelace. This Mr. Flugelbinder became one hell of a successful man, on the basis of a simple, but highly functional invention.
