On: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2011

The Nobel committee is awesome, since they can split a prize in three and still give one half to each winner. :)

"The Nobel Prize in Physics 2011 was awarded "for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae" with one half to Saul Perlmutter and the other half jointly to Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess."

Seems clear to me. Perlmutter gets 50%, Schmidt and Riess each get 25%.

unwind is awesome, as it can read a sentence and get it totally wrong.
