Trivia: What did Einstein give away in a divorce settlement?
His unpublished journals
His Nobel Prize
A goldfish
His violin
The correct answer is His Nobel Prize
So why is this answer correct? : Einstein and physicist Mileva Maric separated nine years before they divorced, and part of the separation agreement stated that Maric would receive some proceeds from the Nobel Prize that Einstein was sure he’d eventually win. He was right — after he received the prize in 1921, he gave a big chunk of the winnings to his former wife.
