 The second challenge involved the possibility of scaling down letters small enough so as to be able to fit the entire "Encyclopædia Britannica" on the head of a pin, by writing the information from a book page on a surface 1/25,000 smaller in linear scale.In 1985, Tom Newman, a Stanford graduate student, successfully reduced the first paragraph of "A Tale of Two Cities" by 1/25,000, and collected the second Feynman prize.Newman's thesis adviser, R. Fabian Pease, had read the paper in 1966; but it was another grad student in the lab, Ken Polasko, who had recently read it who suggested attempting the challenge.
