# Nobel Prize Winners: Birth Country 3rd Letter < Death Country 3rd Letter (Lexicographically)

Here are notable Nobel Prize winners whose birth country's 3rd letter comes before their death country's 3rd letter alphabetically:

## Examples:

1. **Albert Einstein** (Physics, 1921)
   - Birth: Germany (r)
   - Death: United States (i)
   - r > i ❌

Let me recalculate correctly:

1. **Albert Einstein** (Physics, 1921)
   - Birth: Germany (r)
   - Death: United States (i)
   - Actually: g-e-**r** vs u-n-**i**: r > i (doesn't qualify)

2. **Enrico Fermi** (Physics, 1938)
   - Birth: Italy (**a**)
   - Death: United States (**i**)
   - a < i ✓

3. **Max Born** (Physics, 1954)
   - Birth: Germany (**r**)
   - Death: United Kingdom (**i**)
   - r > i ❌

4. **Niels Bohr** (Physics, 1922)
   - Birth: Denmark (**n**)
   - Death: Denmark (**n**)
   - n = n ❌

5. **Thomas Mann** (Literature, 1929)
   - Birth: Germany (**r**)
   - Death: Switzerland (**i**)
   - r > i ❌

6. **Ivo Andric** (Literature, 1961)
   - Birth: Austria-Hungary → Bosnia (**s**)
   - Death: Yugoslavia (**g**)
   - s > g ❌

**Qualifying winners include:**
- **Enrico Fermi** - Italy → United States (a < i)

This is a complex query requiring detailed biographical data for all ~1000 Nobel laureates. A complete list would need systematic database analysis.
