Yes. While not strictly a scientist, the thing he is best known for is the thing I would consider somewhat science related. I'll give this one as a free question, wasn't very clear and I picked a really tough one I think.

I'm feeling inexplicable satisfaction because I thought F. Porsche would be more difficult. I was equally amazed that you had guessed him so effortlessly, Hamish.

My next pick will be easy
