Medici? Italians? Romans? Greek? Germans? FRench? English? Spanish? :P

Ptolemy?
Last clue.
European merchants, they also gave us the sequin
Venice folk?
It is with much pleasure...and relief..that I say,we have a winner!
Over to you!
Really? Venice folk? I thought it was the Mesopotamians or the Greeks or an Indian chap...
I can't think of a question, so I leave it open to whomever first decides and posts a question.
It's the word 'zero', the Italians called it 'zefiro' but it got mutated to 'zero' by the Venetians.
If my memory serves me well the concept of zero was firstly used in India.

Well, lets see,hm....
Who was Little Johnny? And what year was he born?
since when is looking things up cheating?
It's a quiz. Best to give the people who actually know the answer a chance before you start googling?
Since ever? The point of a quiz is to test knowledge, not googling-abilites.Quote:
