huinventors1-10, Exercise 2: "Hungarians invented the computer"

Model answer:

1. Kind: a theory or design (the stored-program architecture), not a single device.
2. Idea, builder, success: von Neumann gave the ideas a clear logical form in the 1945 report; the Penn team, including Eckert and Mauchly, developed many of them and built ENIAC; others in Britain and the United States built working machines.
3. Record: the 1945 report carries only von Neumann's name, but that does not settle who originated each idea.
4. Other claimants: Turing's earlier theoretical work, the Penn team, and the British stored-program machines.
5. "Hungarian": von Neumann was born and educated in Budapest and worked in the United States.
6. Who tells it, and why: Hungarian sources stress his birth; others stress the team or the United States.

Verdict: the claim is too strong; a fair version says a Hungarian-born mathematician gave the computer its influential architecture, with shared credit. Details should be checked.
