  2. a b In the question of how long no prizes have been awarded, the sources contradict each other: An older list of winners ( Memento of February 28, 2011 in the Internet Archive ) speaks of the period 1978 to 1983, a newer list of winners names a winner in 1978, so it would be the suspension period only from 1979 to 1983.
