Been away for a while, just trying to catch back up..seems like nothing new has been found for a few weeks, since the firebox ad - correct me if wrong.

Out of curiousity...anyone got any idea if there is a link between 'water, acetone and liquid mercury' - what would the cube have to be made of for these three things in particular to be harmful?

Also...glad to be back...

i think the best we came up with was :

water shorts out electrical stuff
mercury ruins the look of gold (forms an alloy)
acetone dissolves plastics

so its a gold and plastic electrical cube

but that is rubbish of course cos we all know its the xxxxxxx cube Very Happy

My first post.

Did some messing around with - Nihil obstat scientia

and it could be an anagram for "a bioscientist hint" with the letters l & a left over. so could be L A - a bioscientist hint.

Think i'm digging in too deep.

Got a chemistry degree and cant think of anything off hand that reacts with mercury water and acetone, but got a massive pile of txt books. Think a night of research may be in order..... May lead to a clue as to what the XXXXXX is, maybe. Howver, all are liquids, so maybe the cube is highly absorbent, like a silica crystal. (or a sponge Wink

).

did some research on the Arrow taxis card shown on firebox where all you can see is the telephone number 01494 47 47 ??. Well I didn't find Arrow taxis but the number 01494 is based in High Wycombe and there is a taxi company there called Arrow cars with the telephone number 01494 47 47 64. Coincidence? The fax number on the card looks like 01494 54452 but seems a little short.

Has anyone thought of any significance to the water, acetone and liquid mercury mentioned in the FireBox advert?

apart from water they are odd things to "expose" a cube to...
