“Scientists hit the Jackpot” incorporates a selection of great scientists strutting their stuff. Archimedes getting into his bath, nearly treads on a young Einstein discovering his famous formula. Copernicus stares into the heavens on a very rickety platform. Mary Anning is gathering fossils and Pythagoras is playing with his hypotenuse.
