Vladb, congratulations, this is correct. I'm not sure how you could have come up with the answer with so little to go on, but nicely done.

Quote:

Nobel's work had directly involved the creation of explosives, and he became increasingly uneasy with the military use of his inventions. It is said that this was motivated in part by his reading of a premature obituary of himself, published in error by a French newspaper on the occasion of the death of Nobel's brother Ludvig, and which condemned Nobel as a "merchant of death."[3] Nobel bequeathed 94% of his total assets, 31 million Swedish Kroner, for the establishment of five prizes.

This was simply after the Second clues.
Objects excluded for understandable reason.
Military ranks and awards different in different countries and their more than five.
This also applies to scholars degree.
Stay prizes, such as Oscar and Grammy.
But nominations is five of the Nobel only .
Simple logic. ;-)

Ah so, simple logic. There are actually six categories for the Nobel Prize as you listed, however the "Peace" prize was not formalized until 1969.

Of course, you are right.

Any task already settled looks like an easy task.
In fact, your quiz is original and quite complex.
I like tasks, which are addressed not by way of lottery.

Thank you for it!
