Ngo Bao Chau who just won a ‘Nobel’ math prize shares his honor with scandalous stars, sadistic killer and other hot topics including Word Cup and central floods as the most searched on Yahoo Vietnam 2010.
Professor Ngo Bao Chau, who won the Fields medal in India – often considered the ‘Nobel’ prize in mathematics – invited the most searches on www.yahoo.com.vn this year.
A Vietnamese-French currently working for the University of Chicago, Chau has made headlines across Vietnam for his solution to the fundamental lemma for automorphic forms, a long-time puzzle creating much headaches in the math academia.
Coming second is “gia vang” or gold rate. Recently, domestic gold prices have escalated to record high ever, resulting in a fever among speculators.
The World Cup 2010 in South Africa comes third, followed by the scandalous fashion model and singer Ho Ngoc Ha who allegedly had a baby with a famous millionaire playboy in Ho Chi Minh City.
Trailing behind is the notorious Nguyen Duc Nghia. Nghia has been sentenced to death for killing and cutting off his girlfriend’s head and 10 fingers, rippling shockwaves across the country. The case has also triggered serious contrasting opinions on legal and ethical issues.
The 6th most searched is singer Dam Vinh Hung who was this year attacked while on a US tour. His claim of losing a valuable diamond ring also ignites massive curiosity and hearsay.
Actress Kiem Hien who divorced her husband after a 3-month marriage also entered the list, ranked 7th.
Hanoi’s 1000th year celebration (1000 nam Thang Long Ha Noi) in October, the deadly floods in central Vietnam (lu mien Trung) and Korean actor Kim Hyun Joong share the last footings.
On a wider scale, the BP oil spill and the World Cup are the most and second most searched on Yahoo global, followed by teen star Miley Cyrus, the sexy Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, the iPhone, Megan Fox, Justin Bieber, American Idol and Britney Spears.
