Q: (CNN) -- On Nikola Tesla's 158th birthday, it was the effort to build a museum in the influential scientist's honor that got the gift.

Elon Musk, the magnate and inventor behind electric-car company Tesla Motors, has pledged $1 million to the Tesla Science Center in Shoreham, New York, on the site of Wardenclyffe, Tesla's only remaining laboratory.

And it's all due, at least in large part, to an appeal from a webcomic creator.

Matthew Inman, whose comic and website the Oatmeal draws millions of readers each month, wrote Thursday that he had spoken to Musk and confirmed the pledge.

"So, I had a call with Elon Musk earlier this week ..." Inman wrote on his site.

He said Musk, who named his car company as a tribute to the inventor, told him two things during the phone call: that he would install a Tesla charging station in the museum's parking lot and that he'll donate the million to the effort to fully restore and operate it.

Jane Alcorn, president of the Tesla Science Center, announced the pledge at a birthday party at the center on Thursday.

"(Musk) has challenged us at the center to use our resources wisely, find additional resources, and reach our goal of creating this museum," she said. "We are excited and extremely grateful for Mr. Musk's generous gift to Tesla Science Center, and also to Matthew Inman for arranging the opportunity."

The Tesla Science Center had confirmed the news on its Twitter feed earlier.

"Elon Musk: from the deepest wells of my geeky little heart: thank you," Inman wrote. "This is amazing news. And it's Nikola Tesla's 158th birthday. Happy Nikola Tesla Day."

Q: On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion and said excitedly, "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." But I didn't want to play it. I just wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons. One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "It was your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn to play it." I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But _ I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family.

Q: The Fed Express rolls out of Shanghai with no signs of slowing down yet.

Roger Federer beat Frenchman Gilles Simon to win his first Shanghai Masters crown Sunday and his fourth title of the season.

The victory will move him above Rafael Nadal, who has been laid low with appendicitis, and up to second in the world rankings.

"Usually everything slows down at the end of the season," Federer told reporters in China. "Not for me this time.

"This year everything is going really well. I have so many highlights to look forward to for the end of the season, which is nice."

With just a handful of events to go until next month's season finale in London, Federer could still mathematically challenge Novak Djokovic to end the year as the world No.1.

The 33-year-old Swiss ace beat Djokovic - who arguably inflicted more pain by defeating Federer in the summer's Wimbledon final -- in the semifinals in Shanghai.

"I'm not even going to change my schedule because of it," Federer reflected on the possibility of regaining the number one spot.

"I haven't thought about it, to be quite honest. I mean, it's in Novak's racquet. He dictates.

"But nevertheless, I'm still going to be playing and hopefully playing well again."

Federer did not have it easy against Simon, who took the Swiss to a tiebreak in the opening set and had set point at 6-5 up.

But the 17-time grand slam champion snuffed out the threat to take the first set breaker 8-6.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who beat Gilles Simon?
2. Where is Simon from?
3. Is this Federer"s third title this season?
4. Which one is it?
