Albert Einstein only got one Nobel Prize, so "first" is misleading. The artistic movement is surrealism, nobody will think of the adjective... And, uh, what is United Kington ? ;) Maybe Black Thursday should be accepted ? The crash lasted several days, beginning on Thursday and culminating on Tuesday, so... Apart from these, cool quiz.

Seems that quite a lot happened in 1922. Definitely a year to remember.
