Question 2

Among Nobel laureates, what unique distinction do scientists Marie Curie and Linus Pauling hold?

Question 3

Alfred Nobel, the famous Swiss inventor who instituted the Nobel Prize did so because he did not want to be remembered for his most famous invention, something that he saw as destructive and unworthy of his legacy. What did Alfred Nobel invent?

Question 4

In 1915, Lawrence Bragg won the Nobel Prize in Physics to become the youngest Nobel laureate at the age of 25. Who broke that record by winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, at the young age of 17?

Question 5

This has occurred only twice in the history of the Nobel Prize. The first time was in 1964 and the person to do it was the French philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre. It happened once again in 1973 and the person in question was Vietnamese revolutionary Le Duc Tho. What are we talking about?

Take your guesses in the comments section below. And remember, answers will be revealed next Sunday in the comments section too, along with a brand new edition of BYJU’S Sunday Challenge.
