Fact 1611 — laureates’ birthdays
AI-generated cover: a blank calendar with two circled squares and a research tally notebook, symbolizing the birthday-frequency comparison. It is not a visualization of the actual NobelPrize.org data. Prompt: “Photorealistic vertical 4:5 editorial cover for a statistical story about the most frequent birthdays among Nobel laureates. A blank open calendar grid with exactly two date squares circled in red, beside a simple tally chart notebook and magnifying glass on a clean research desk. No people, no portraits, no busts, no statues, no readable numbers or text, no Nobel logo, no cake, no personal records. Generic data-analysis still life.” Generated 19 October 2026.
In NobelPrize.org’s laureate data as of 18 October 2026, February 28 and May 21 are two of the six most frequent birthdays, each appearing seven times. The count covers 977 records for people with a complete birth day and month; dates in other records are incomplete, and some records are for organizations.
