Let's Fire Up Those Neurons!

Ok, let me think, maybe I won't need all of December, just a third, perhaps until the tenth?

 

You are too explosive today in making fun of me. I thought Professors, in general, are noble and nice..

 

for once I was in time to see the puzzle before the answers are out.
and just when i was about to give up ... your hint gave it away.
I was thinking of winners, but turns out he is the moolakarta
And to think I was thrown off trail by the first image

Hi Viswa
Please don't wait for me.
This time I am unable to take the time to solve the puzzle; so I pass.

 

Maybe I am not getting the clue words correctly. Will wait for the answer

 

Viswamitra, thanks for additional clues. Inventor - Reminds me of this song

 

Answer to Puzzle # 7890

ALFRED Bernhard Nobel

I have mentioned earlier that image 1 to image 4 should give away the name and here is how:

Image 1: A photo of Alfred Hitchcock and the keyword here is Alfred.
Image 2: The beautiful city of Bern in Switzerland.
Image 3: The Karate guy is trying to break the hard ice with his hand and the "hard" is the keyword
Image 4: Mother Teressa's quality is noble and the keyword here is "Noble" in order to find the last name "Nobel"

Second row images are just validation:

Image 1: Explosion of a dynamite to indicate who the person is
Image 2: The keyword is "Stock"
Image 3: The keyword is "Home" to indicate "Holm". Image 2 + image 3 together makes Stockholm in Sweden where he is from
Image 4: Nobel was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1984, the very same institution that selects Nobel laureates for two of the Noble prizes.

Additional info:

Despite the lack of formal secondary and tertiary level of education, Nobel gained proficiency in six languages: Swedish, French, Russian, English, German and Italian

He held 355 patents internationally and by his death his business had established more than 90 armaments factories, despite his belief in pacifism.

The famous Bofor's scandal that happened during 1980-1990 period in India is with one of these companies.
