Why do they specify that two of them split only half of the prize, versus just that all three share it? Does anyone care _how much_ of a Nobel prize you have?

Think of it as the price is shared between two discoveries, and for each discovery a certain number of people share that part.
A Nobel Prize is about a million dollars cash.
Ah, they split the cash along those lines? I see.
They are saying that RP's theoretical contributions are equal to the experimental contributions of the other two.
