Nobel Prize - You might not know

From CNA article, "Ten things you didn't know about the Nobel Prize"

Up till 30 minutes ago, I thought Nobel Prize awards are only recongitions awarded to nomaniees for their outstanding contribution or research. In year 1901, 150,782 Swedisk Kronor (SEK)(150 782 Swedish kronor = 32 448.4418 Singapore dollars) was given as a monetary prize. Currently, it's 10 million SEK (10 million Swedish kronor = 2.15201031 million Singapore dollars)

6. Red Cross actually got the Nobel Peace Prize for 3 occasion.

8. The youngest recipient - Lawrence Bragg, 25 received the Nobel Prize in Physics
