I want $bling$!
plus, the picture is more becoming
actually, screw that.. why does Gauss get a stamp AND a bill while Cantor, the grand puba of modern science, gets squat?

Because Cantor was crazy. Brilliant, but crazy nevertheless.

Nice Bonners, you got the $100 question.
Most people I’ve asked do not even know who Robert Borden is, let alone have the ability to identify his face.

All correct except for #10, which is not Magellan.
Great job on Tesla!

Well then, I suppose the next guess would be Columbus.
Something about not having backing form his own country….

I only know Robert Borden because I did a report on him in elementary school. He was Prime Minister during WW1, a wealthy lawyer with an overbearing mother and had a big ego. And of course, he graces the $100.
