    The Nobel Prize Dead Pool 2024/25

    As last year, the scoring will appear on a four digit base. The first digit will represent the category, sorted from least living laureates to most: Literature (20): 6.000 points Peace (30): 5.000 points Economic Scienes (48): 4.000 points Chemistry (62): 3.000 points Medicine/Physiology (70): 2.000 points Physics (75): 1.000 points The second digit will honor the decade, the laureate was awarded: 2020s – 900 points 2010s – 800 points 2000s – 700 points 1990s – 600 points 1980s – 500 points 1970s – 400 points 1960s – 300 points 1950s – 200 points There were no laureates left from the decades before, so a sore of 100 points is not possible! The third digit will show the age of your laureate: < 30 – 90 points. 30-39 – 80 points 40-49 – 70 points 50-59 – 60 points 60-69 – 50 points 70-79 – 40 points 80-89 – 30 points 90-99 – 20 points 100-??? – 10 points The last digit gives a bonus score: Last survivor of his awarding year: 9 points bonus. Youngest death of the contest: 8 points (awarded in February 2022!) Represents an African country: 7 points Represents an Asian country: 6 points A female laureate: 5 points. Awarded alone (organizations excluded): 4 points Represents a South or Middle American country: 3 points Comes from Germany (born there or naturalized): 2 points Oldest death of the contest: 1 point (awarded in February 2023!) So for example: Henry Kissinger, currently the last laureate to die, was worth 5.412 points. 5.000 as a Peace Prize laureate, 400 for the decade (he was awarded in 1973), 30 for his age (100), and 2 bonus points as he was born in Germany.
