About this quiz
Scientists, writers and peacemakers, every one a Nobel laureate, born between 1845 and 1997. No two were born in the same year, so the order is never in doubt.
- The earliest born laureate on the board received one of the very first Nobel Prizes, in 1901.
- One laureate here won two Nobel Prizes, in two different sciences.
- The order is by date of birth, not by the year of the prize.
- After the game every button shows its place in the order.
