Yes. And money talks. Speaking of which ... is there a website somewhere that lists the currently available prizes? I don't mean things like the Nobel. What I have in mind are specific goal-oriented prizes. I don't imagine that there's a prize being offered for discovering the Higgs particle, but prizes exist. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic for prize money. I recall seeing a TV special several years ago about a prize for a human-powered aircraft. There must be loads of these out there. Know of a listing?
