I'm a little confused.
Post 13 said "Who made the first one
Don't know - too early for Bacon "
and then at the end of the game it really was Bacon.
How come you just didn't say it was Bacon when he was first mentioned?

There are 3 Bacons, The Bacon is Sir Francis he got the best press(philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer). That is why bacon was a know

Roger (the one requires and but he did come up with gunpowder) and Nicholas were overlooked due to his fame
Thats why he got a point +1 for not bacon his words not mine a point to push toward the answer no one noticed.

Sorry if you were confused...
