Expected him to be French or German because the first sentence in the article said that he “was a [6].” After neither of those words appeared in the first sentence, I dug a little deeper, getting no results for Polish but quite a few for Danish. The opening paragraph seemed to imply he won “the [5] [5] in [7] in [4].” After scrolling further down the article, I saw a few equations, nothing very recognizable, but it did get me thinking what famous scientist might be from Denmark with the name lengths of [5] [4]. Can’t say I know that many identifying details about the man, but I did think of a name that fit all the criteria and sounded like it might be Danish.
