Loved this one (hopfully more building ones like this is season 2 and less ones which can be solved by googling for bizarre trivia!)

Wasnt 100% sure of all the letters, since there are a few options for each side depending on how you rotate "it". But didnt get the last letter, probably because of my shoddy cardboard and sellotape construction (its verrrry fragile and a bit lob-sided ).
However, having read obrienk's hint, im 100% sure now that i have the answer but ive locked myself out

fretty gave you all the information you need to search out the answer, if you can't be bothered to actually build it yourself.

I figured it out part way through the thread but I still can't build the blessed thing, so if anyone feels like posting a link to a photo..?

OK so we know the answer - thanks everyone. But I'm a completer-finisher personality and I'm really trying to reproduce this solve for myself. So, after fruitless hours with sellotape and photocopies...
Help! Can anyone explain (or post an image of) how to assemble the third letter of this word?

Still looks like some funky chair to me.
I still am sketchy on the acetone, water, mercury clue. Can someone fill me in there?

A look around the PXC site will show you the relevance.

The thing I made looks way off compared to to that! I didn't even finish it because I knew i'd messed it up badly!

Loktera is awesome Loktera's rendition is superb. Here are my high-school-drafting-only attempts at piecing this one together:

I might as well post this after having done the work. Attached is a PDF of the pieces. All you need are 2 sheets of cardstock, some scotch tape, and a little patience. It was a quick mockup, so one of the thin columns doesn't quite fit right, and the "dowel hole" dots are rough estimates. Had I been doing this more professionally, I would have put some underlapping tabs in the construction. Still, I think you'll find the results are clear enough to give an answer.
