In 1939 Claude Shannon won the "wrong" Nobel prize -- The Alfred Noble Prize award presented by the American Society of Civil Engineers [0]. It causes a lot of confusion. Claude Shannon never won a "real Nobel". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Noble_Prize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Noble_Prize EDIT: typos
