The 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine¹ went to a group including a Chinese scientist called Tu Youyou[^] for her discovery of artemisinin and its treatment of malaria. Well done! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Now, her birthday is in two months time, so I think we might need to practice in order to sing her a "Happy Birthday".
Go on - try it now... Laugh | :laugh:

^{1 Actually the "2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine[^]" if you want to be picky}

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

As we have two months, it may be easier to learn it in Chinese...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Since it is A Chinese name, the question is, which one?

Happy birthday to Youyou Tu you.
or
Happy birthday to Tu Youyou you.

Inquiring minds need to know.

Footnote:- That's weird - I typed a zero based list, but CP turned it into a one based list. Going to the dark side?

Markdown does that. Disable it underneath the post.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

CP runs on a VB6 and Access back-end, didn't you know? Big Grin | :-D

I hear hamsters don't have a concept of zero Wink | ;)

Not everything in VB6 is 1-based...

You can actually define the boundaries of an array yourself. If you want to go crazy you can even start with negative values. Big Grin | :-D

(I believe it's even possible to do that in .Net, but at least they made it pretty difficult to accomplish)

In older versions of Delphi it depends on what you are indexing whether or not arrays are zero or one based. Lots of fun in that.

I think we can get by simply with:

Happy birthday Tu You

...

Happy birthday to you Tu Youyou

Poke tongue | ;-P

I was going to comment that you were missing to in there until I reread it a few times. Reading the written sentence of her name and happy birthday has the same problem as multiple the in a sencentence. your brain kinda skips one.

Just a note, the "you" at the end shouldn't be there, it's like saying "Happy birthday to Bob Smith you"

I could use that! I cycle to work and it tends to get pretty cold...
Unfortunately my company now shares the building with a bank and security measures are tight (no joke).
