Prediction of MIT's Chance for the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>On Monday, Andrew Fire won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Today (Tuesday), George Smoot won the Nobel Prize in Physics.</p>

<p>They all graduated from MIT!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>My question is: will we hit the jackpot this time? Do you think that at least one of the winners of 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (to be announced tomorrow) will also be affiliated to MIT?</p>

<p>My guess is that the chance is pretty high--higher than 50%</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>I have no clue but I just looked at this website: <a href="http://www.scientific.thomson.com/nobel/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.scientific.thomson.com/nobel/&lt;/a> The guy in first in their poll got a degree from MIT. But who knows how accurate that site is. Oh well, we'll find out soon enough who wins :)</p>

<p>they're 0 for 2.</p>

<p>Heh. Well, I was skeptical of a site that allows basically anyone to vote in the poll. Anyway, they could still get one right. Who knows :P</p>
