[Projoy] A scientist? YES! * audience emerges from its stupor and attempts a mexican wave*
[Kim] Economist? NO *audience calms down a bit*

[Projoy] French? NO

Hmm, a scientist, but only a sort-of academic...

[Graham III] Albert Einstein? NO but ... very very close *gasps of genuine anticipation from audience*
Scientist AND academic - aren't all scientists academic?

Einstein wrote his most famous papers while working as a clerk, I believe, rather than being in a University.

Of course I am Uncertain about this and have a feeling Projoy has it.

[PJ, Rosie, Quend] NOT Planck, Heisenberg or Schrodinger. Clue: All are the wrong nationality.

[Raak] British? NO
[Projoy] Died before 1920? NO

[Graham III] Bohr? NO

[Kim] German? I refer the Honourable Crescenter to my reply to PJ, Rosie & Quendalon

[Chalky] As it happens, Schrodinger was Austrian. :-)

[Quendalon] Yes, I know Schrodinger was Austrian [as I am also aware that the other two were German ]- which is why I said that all 3 were the wrong nationality. I rather thought I was being helpful ... and didn't expect it to come back and bite me on the bum... :-)
[Q] Fermi? NO
[Phil] Freud? NO
[[Projoy] Dutch? YES! *audience girds its loins*
[Quendalon] Arrhenius? NO
