Something discovered or invented by accident
There are 40 answers to “Something discovered or invented by accident” in OnlyClick, and they do not all score the same. Most people go straight for Penicillin, Microwave oven or Post-it notes, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 5 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
