Imagine the pub quiz team you could assemble with history's brainiest Brits. We're picking the most pint-worthy boffin of them all.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Sir Isaac Newton
Gravity, calculus, and a famously prickly personality. Expect long silences and very precise change at the bar.
Charles Darwin
Endless tales of finches, tortoises and seasickness. He'd probably evolve his pint order halfway through.

Ada Lovelace
Imagining computers a century before they existed, all while navigating Victorian society. The cleverest person in any room.

Stephen Hawking
Black holes, brief histories and a famously dry sense of humour. Bonus points if he brings up his Simpsons cameo.

Rosalind Franklin
Her X-ray crystallography cracked the double helix, even if the credit took decades to catch up. Owed at least three rounds.
