Asked in Nobel Prize

When did Edward Teller won the Nobel Prize for Peace?

User Avatar
He didn't. What he won was the first "lg Nobel Prize for Peace in 1991. The Ig Nobel Prizes are a parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October for ten unusual or trivial "achievements" in scientific research, for discoveries "that cannot, or should not, be reproduced". The self proclaimed aim of the prizes is to "first make people laugh, and then make them think". Organized by the scientific humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), they are presented by a group that includes Nobel Laureates at a ceremony at Harvard University's Sanders Theater. The point of that particular award was that "the father of the hydrogen bomb" won the lg Nobel Peace Prize. Get the point?

Asked in The Price is Right

How do you play ten chances on price is right?

User Avatar
There are three prizes to be won. The first prize is always something small with a dollar amount of 2 digits. you have to guess which two numbers they are. the same with the seond prize, only it contains a dollar amount of three digits. If you guess the first prizes right, you then can try to win the car. but you only have ten chances to win all three prizes. if you're good at guessing the first prizes quickly, you have that many more chances to guess the price of the car. I've seen people have seven or eight chances to guess the price of the car because they were able to guess the value of the other two prizes quickly.
