After patenting dynamite in 1867, Alfred Nobel became concerned
that his invention might be used for destructive purposes. Using his
own money he created an endowment to reward peaceful ingenuity. This
became known as the Nobel Peace Prize.

5. Wasting water
1. Grammar
2. Geometry
3. Guitar

Aren’t you forgetting Gingerbread (architecture)?
The best trivia about the Nobel Prize is why there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics. I guess Nobel’s wife cheated on him with a mathematician, and in retaliation, he snubbed the entire field of study.
oh those mathematicians. they always get the girl.
Oh no. I checked snopes, and my story is an urban legend. But I will continue to spread it, because any story that involves Chemists, Mathematicians, and Adultery is worth retelling.
That website always spoils everyone’s fun.
Is it Economics? I guessed the same as you but with Biology instead of Medicine which I guess is pretty close.
