I forgot that you don't code.
Believe me, it was a good joke. Yes, it was too difficult. Fixed.

Oooo!!! Shit....

The first version (French-American): the outstanding Swedish mathematician Mittag-Leffler (a foreign member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, and later a foreign honorary member of the USSR Academy of Sciences) persistently and unsuccessfully courted Nobel's wife. Upon learning about this, the founder of the awards decided to take revenge on the offender and his science in such a peculiar way.

Version two (Swedish); during the drafting of the Nobel testament, Mittag-Leffler was the undisputed leader of Swedish mathematics. Nobel, of course, knew this, as well as the fact that by establishing the prize in mathematics, he would thereby create a real prerequisite for awarding it to Mittag-Leffler, to whom (it has been proven) he had a deep personal dislike for reasons possibly different from the above.

I have a lot of questions for mathematicians.
I take it he wasn't just lying. He also wanted to fuck Nobel's wife.

Version third (official*). Nobel simply considered mathematics to be an abstract science, and prizes should be awarded to those whose discoveries benefit everyone.

One of Hurricane Milton's bands coming through last night. Looks like everyone in my neighborhood is good. Aside from a few tree limbs down, no devastation in my immediate area. The storm lost structure earlier than the experts anticipated. That probably saved a lot of people and property. We just had Hurricane Helene bring 5'-10' storm surge here about 10 days ago and people were still trying to clean up from that one. Many that evacuated this area and went inland got hit with 12'-18' of rain and multiple tornadoes in Orlando and the surrounding areas.
