4. NOBEL TIDAK DIBERIKAN UNTUK MEREKA YANG TELAH WAFAT

Since 1974, only living people are considered by the prize committees. However, the Nobel Foundation made an exception in 2011 when it found out right after the medicine prize was announced that one of the winners, Ralph Steinman (pictured), had died just days earlier. They let the prize stand and Steinman's share of the prize money was given to his survivors.

Pada 1974 komite Nobel hanya mempertimbangkan memberikan kepada mereka yang masih hidup. Namun Yayasan Nobel membuat pengecualian pada 2011 ketika peraih Nobel Kesehatan Ralph Steinman (foto) wafat beberapa hari sebelum pengumuman. Mereka tetap memberikan penghargaan untuk Ralph.

The Nobel statutes say the awards can be split among multiple winners but in no case "may a prize amount be divided between more than three persons."

7. WINSTON CHURCHILL TIDAK MENDAPATKAN NOBEL PERDAMAIAN

The eloquent British conservative leader did win a Nobel Prize, but in the literature category, not peace. Churchill received the literature prize in 1953 "for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values."

Pemimpin konservatif Inggris memang mendapatkan Nobel, tapi dalam kategori sastra bukan perdamaian. Churchill mendapatkan Nobel Sastra pada 1953.

8. 94 PERSEN PERAIH NOBEL ADALAH PRIA

Of the 847 individuals who have won a Nobel Prize, only 44, or five percent, were women. Nobel judges say they don't consider gender when selecting winners and that the awards simply reflect the historical dominance of men in many fields of research. In pic: Nelson Mandela and F.W. De Klerk with their Nobel peace prize medals and certificates.

Dari 847 peraih Nobel hanya 44 atau 5 persen perempuan, sisanya pria. Juri Nobel mengatakan mereka tidak mempertimbangkan faktor gender ketika memilih pemenang.

9. KATEGORI EKONOMI TIDAK ORISINIL

True. The Economics Award was not among the five awards that Alfred Nobel (pictured) established in his will for medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. It was created by the central bank of Sweden in 1968 in Nobel's honor. It is announced along with the other prizes, carries the same prize money of $1.1 million, and is handed out at the annual Nobel ceremony in December, but it's technically not a Nobel Prize.

Penghargaan bidang Ekonomi bukanlah bagian dari lima kategori orisinil yang dibuat oleh Alfred Nobel (fot). Dia membuat kategori kedokteran, fisika, kimia, sastra dan perdamaian.

Penghargaan Ekonomi dibuat oleh bank Swedia pada 1968. Penghargaan ini diumumkan bersamaan dengan nobel lain dan mendapatkan hadiah yang sama sebesar US$1,1 juta dan diserahkan pada acara penyerahan di bulan Desember. Namun secara teknis ini bukanlah penghargaan Nobel.

10. TIDAK SEMUA PENGHARGAAN NOBEL DISERAHKAN DI STOCKHOLM

The Peace Prize is both announced and handed out in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, according to the wishes of Alfred Nobel. No one knows why he wanted it that way but during his lifetime Sweden and Norway were joined in a union. In Picture: The Norwegian Nobel Institute headquarters, Oslo, Norway

Nobel Perdamaian diumumkan dan diserahkan di Oslo, ibukota Norwegia. Inilah keinginan Alfred Nobel. Tidak ada yang tahu alasannya. Foto: Markas Nobel Institute di Oslo, Norwegia. (*MSN)
