Nice :go: ... you fell for my incredibly well disguised red herring :eek: Computer game design won't be part of the Nobel prizes until next year.

Our tutor in the organics practice told us about Linus Pauling (or so) who got one in Chemistry and peace...a rather strange combination :biggrin:

The only other persons with two, that I know are the Curies..but they shared it with each other :lol:

BINGO :go:

Thought you might get it since the chem prize was partly for work that lead up to the Watson and Crick discoveries.

Pauling was a very interesting man. His peace prize was for anti nuclear activities that lead up to the 1963 limited test ban treaty. His position on disarmament was always a sore point with the US Gov. I like the weird juxtaposition of chemistry and peace, it reminds me of Nobel himself who founded his fortune on his invention of dynamite then willed it all to such a good cause.

Other 2x winers of the peace prize:
Marie Curie 1903 Physics (shared) and 1911 Chemistry
John Bardine 1956 Physics (shared) and 1972 Physics (shared)
Fredrick Sanger 1958 Chemistry and 1980 Chemistry (shared)

Moryarty is gets to ask the next question :hello:

Lets stay with DNA :biggrin:


Which of the following is not part of DNA:

A) Adenin

E) Guanosin

I know that three of them are in there so I was left with two choices. So I'll guess D) Serin.
Baghera
14-07-2005, 21:06
What he said... never heard of a chemical called Serin before
Moryarity
15-07-2005, 09:30
Largefry is right

btw: Serin is an amino acid.....

D)? We only learned 3,14...
Largefry07
15-07-2005, 22:58
That is incorrect.
Dobber
16-07-2005, 12:04
A is the closest

Actually is 3.141592653 stopping with the number of digits you did.

Expanded to more digits 3.14159265358979323846

And if you want to see it expanded to 50,000 digits Go here (http://www.ballandclaw.com/upi/pi.50000.html)

Correct Dobber, and good link too.
Moryarity

in school, we printed it out up to 100.000 digits and gave it to our maths prof as a present......:biggrin:
