Seems I'm the smartest one here, the only one I got wrong was the 4th one, and on that I plead not being American.
A few of them are contestable though - even though there aren't records of it, there could have been ice-cream in Marco Polo's time. Although I'm still amazed that the history of ice-cream still causes so much controversy.
