INSIDE The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony

will be held on December 10, the

same day as this issues publication.

In recognition of the event, Gist

Weekly compiled some interesting

facts about the Nobel Prize.

Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dy-

namite, established the fund for

the Nobel Prizes in his will, hop-

ing to be remembered for some-

thing more peaceful. He leftabout 94% of his wealth

to the fund, specify-

ing that the prizes

should go to

those who, dur-

ing the preced-

ing year, shall

have conferred

the greatest bene-

fit on mankind.

The Nobel Foundation

awarded the first prizes on De-cember 10, 1901, the fifth anni-

versary of Nobels death. It gave

prizes in the five categories Nobel

indicated in his will: chemistry,

literature, peace, physics, and

physiology or medicine. In 1969,

the Bank of Sweden added eco-

nomics as a s ixth Nobel Prize.

Each year, the committees re-

sponsible for selecting Nobel

Prize winners send out thousands

of invitations for nominations.

Self-nominations are not allowed;

neither are posthumous nomina-

tions. From the nominations, the

committees choose an individual,

collaboration of up to three peo-

ple, or organization to win each

of the six prizes.

The International Committee of

the Red Cross has won more No-

bel Prizes than any other entity

with threeall Peace Prizesin

1917, 1944, and 1963. No individ-

ual has ever received three Nobel

Prizes, but four people have

come close with two. The two-

time winners are Marie Curie(Physics, 1903 and Chemistry,

1911), Linus Pauling

(Chemistry, 1954 and

Peace, 1962), John

Bardeen (Physics,

1956 and 1972), and

Frederick Sanger

(Chemistry, 1958 and

1980).

The Curie family has

won more Nobel Prizes than any

other. In addition to Marie Cu-ries two, her husband Pierre

shared her 1903 Physics Prize and

their daughter Irne and her

husband Frederic Joliot-Curie

shared the Nobel Prize for

Chemistry in 1935.

All of the Nobel Prizes are

awarded on the same day, but not

all in the same place. The Nobel

Peace Prize is presented in Oslo,

Norway; all five of the other

prizes share one ceremony in

Stockholm, Sweden.

Editors Note: This article was written be-

fore the 2008 Nobel Prizes were awarded,

so figures use data through the 2007 Prizes.

Congratulationsto D. G. of

won an Eco-Bagby playing theGist Weekly

Scavenger Hunt.

You could be awinner, too! Play this

weeks scavengerhuntinstructionsare on page two.

A Nobel Peace Prize recipient

was giving a lecture about various

global concerns to a large

auditorium of people. About

halfway through the lecture, he

asked the audience for complete

silence. Once everyone was quiet,

the lecturer started clapping

slowly, once every second or so:

Clap Clap Clap. After a few

seconds of this, the speaker said

to the crowd, Every time I clap,

a child in a developing country

dies.

One of the members of the

crowd then stood up and yelled,

Then stop doing it, you

monster!

A man was driving down a

country road when he saw a

farmer standing in the middle of

his bean field. Curious what the

farmer was up to, the man

stopped.

What are you doing? the man

asked.

Im trying to get a Nobel Prize,

replied the farmer.

A Nobel Prize? How do you

plan to do that?

Well, I heard that they award it

to people who are out standing in

their field.

A Nobel Prize-winning author

had just finished her latest book,

one that her publisher was sure

would earn her another Nobel or

Pulitzer. Her husband took her to

the fanciest restaurant in town to

celebrate.

Id like your best table and your

most expensive champagne, he

told the waiter.Whats the occasion? the waiter

asked.

My wife just finished the book

shes been working on for three

years, the husband responded.

The waiter looked at him for a

second, then leaned in and

whispered, Slow reader?

Funny Quotes from

Comedian Emo Philips

A computer once beat me at

chess, but it was no match for

me at kick boxing.

You know what I hate? Indian

givers no, I take that back.

I was walking down Fifth

Avenue today and I found a

wallet, and I was gonna keep it,

rather than return it, but I

thought: Well, if I lost a

hundred and fifty dollars, how

would I feel? And I realized I

would want to be taught a

lesson.

At my lemonade stand I used to

give the first glass away free andcharge five dollars for the

second glass. The refill

contained the antidote.

I got into a fight one time with

a really big guy, and he said,

Im going to mop the floor

with your face. I said, Youll

be sorry. He said, Oh yeah?

Why? I said, Well, you wont

be able to get into the corners

very well.

ters) and Land of Shining Moun-

tains.

The official motto of Montana is

is Helena.

Its largest

city is Bill-

ings.

Montana does not have any major

league sports teams in the MLB,

NBA, NFL, or NHL.

The state animal of Montana is

the grizzly bear. There are more

grizzlies in Montana than in any

of the other lower 48 states.

Montana was the 41st state to join

the Union, doing so in 1889.

The Battle of the Little Big-

hornalso known as Custers

Last Stand or the Battle of the

Greasy Grasshappened in east-

ern Montana. In that 1876 battle,

a combined force of Lakota and

Cheyenne defeated the 7th Cavalry

led by Lieutenant Colonel George

Armstrong Custer.

bility of parole in a federal maxi-

mum security prison.

Montana was the first U.S. state

to elect a female member of Con-

gress, sending Jeannette Rankin

in 1916. So far, Rankin is the only

woman that Montana has elected

to either house of Congress.

Montanas most-visited attraction

is Glacier National Park. To-gether with Waterton Lakes Na-

Place a number in each empty box

so that every row, column, and 9-

box square contains each of the

numbers from one to nine.

SUDOKU

By the Numbers: 3

Number Games

Difficulty:

Use logic to determine which boxes to

fill in and which to leave white. The

numbers below each column and next

to each row indicate unbroken sets of

filled-in boxes: i.e., 5 2 means that sets

of 5 and 2 black boxes appear in it, in

that order, with at least one white box in

between. Fill in a box only when you are

sure it must be black. You may want to

mark known white boxes with Xs or

dots.

The middle ear of a human has

three small bones called the ham-

mer, anvil, and stirrup (also

known by the Latin names malleus,

incus, and stapes, respectively).

These bonescalled ossicles

are the smallest bones in the hu-

man body.

Three is the atomic number of

the element lithium.

There are three primary hues or

colors of light: red, green, and,

blue. Computer monitors, TV

screens, and similar devices com-

bine lights of these three prima-

ries to produce millions of differ-

ent colors.

Printers use a different three pri-

mary colors: cyan, magenta, and

yellow, plus black. The reason for

the difference is that lights addcolors together while pigments

subtract color by filtering or ab-

sorbing it.

Cerberus is a three-headed dog in

Greek mythology that guards the

gate to the underworld, Hades.

The third President of the United

States was Thomas Jefferson.

Babe Ruth wore the #3 uniform

Sr. drove the #3 car (pictured

above) for most of his career,

from the early 1980s until his

death in 2001.

U.S. Constitution reads,

No Soldier shall, in

time of peace be quar-

tered in any house,

without the consent

of the Owner, nor in

time of war, but in a

manner to be pre-

scribed by law.

The third month of the year,

March, was named after Mars, the

Roman god of war. Tuesday, the third day of the

week, gets its name from Tr, also
