Answer: Mesiodens

Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) became well known for his voice, his presence on stage and for his smile that drew attention, due to his dental protrusion, which occurred due to his condition of mesiodens. Supernumerary teeth or mesiodens, are teeth that appear in addition to the regular number of teeth. Freddie Mercury had four extra incisors right behind normal incisors, which pushed forward his front teeth, causing malocclusion.

Although he was bullied and perhaps uncomfortable with his teeth, he always refused to get his teeth fixed, perhaps fearing that the surgery would negatively affect his singing ability.

Answer: Chester A. Arthur, future U.S. president

Elizabeth Jennings Graham (1827-1901) was an African-American teacher and human rights advocate. In July 1854, as she was late for church service where she was the organist, she took the street car of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, which provided segregated service. The conductor ordered her to get out and tried to force her out.

The incident had great repercussions in the black community and in the local and national press. On her behalf, her father filed a lawsuit against the conductor and against the company. In court she was represented by the law firm of Culver, Parker and Arthur and her case was handled by junior partner Chester A. Arthur, 24 years old at the time, future 21st U.S. president. In 1855, the court ruled in Jennings' favor by ordering the company to pay the costs of the lawsuit and a sum of money to Jennings.

Answer: He swam along the Panama Canal

American Richard Halliburton (1900-1939) was a lecturer, travel writer and adventurer who from 1925 to 1938 enchanted many with his adventures. In 1928, he performed his best-known feature: he made the full transit of the Panama Canal.

He swam the 48 mile length of the Panama Canal, in 50 hours over 10 days. Although he was not the fastest swimmer he was the first to swim the 3 sets of locks. Halliburton's passage through the canal required as much mechanical work as a large ship. What's more, the fee to be paid for crossing the canal is based on tonnage. As Halliburton weighed about 150 pounds, he paid just 36 cents in 1928, the lowest rate paid in the history of the canal.

Answer: A collection of small Japanese art objects

Netsukes initially were a type of toggle carved in wood or ivory, attached to a small medicine box or bag which dangled from the obi of a man's traditional clothing.

Although netsukes are now out of fashion as a clothing accessory, they are highly valued as art objects and collectibles. The novel "The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance" (2010) by the British ceramist Edmund de Waal, tells the story of his family's priceless netsuke collection that was saved from the Nazis.
