Well, I had started looking at carbon but I was following a hydrocarbon route.

*sigh* wrong track again *sigh*

Anyway, and more importantly, congratulations on the solve guys! Rock On

Congratulations on the solve, 12th person to enter so missed out on the first 10, grr! Well I suppose my help didn't really add much. Laughing

Hmm.

As lethal things go it's not very. (Having worked with it in fair sized quantities for my project last year and still be somewhat alive.)

Well Done on the solve,

Maybe the 'differently lethal'
was simply a rough way of pointing us towards
'x-ray diffraction', and nothing more.

Heh, I'd tried salicylic acid on a whim too Wink

Nice one hturan, did you get it through installing that program that you mentioned? Would have installed it myself, but it was Mac only... Very Happy

Hmm...now do I beat my head against Reimann, Shuffled or Ciphers...(barely even understand 13th Labour Very Happy

)

Oh, and iirc Benzoic Acid is used as an anti-microbial preservative in food, and I believe it's used topically in vetinary medicine as an anti-fungal.

At least it does form monoclinic crystals...so I'd read something right Laughing

Astounding work to hturan and First Step!
And to think, in front of us this whole time.

Polar, Angel's Key, and now this. We're overtaxing ourselves, it seems.

Ah well, another step forward, another small victory for us!
Huzzah!

(This'll make an excellent holiday gift for the big guns who aren't back from the holiday yet, now, won't it? Laughing

)

Thanks everyone! The program was only for Mac (it seems). Now who wants to try Riemann?!

Is the leaderboard updating for everyone? I just have 2 at number 1 on mine, but I'm fairly sure there are more.

As far as it being the answer, i immediately thought of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, because benzoic acid was one of three ingrediants in "The Dip" that could kill a cartoon character.
The other two were acetine and turpentine.

Fantastic! Thanks goodness, no more waking up at 5am pondering.

The annoying thing is that I was playing around with the idea of the middle bit being a benzene ring back on page 9, but went far too complicated, an got side tracked with the lethal bit... bugger...

Marvellously well fantastically done though!!! Very Happy
