Life 16

Life 16 - Cymbals Crashing All Around

Difficulty: 4
Interest: 2

An image and a title. Great.

Don't overthink this one. We are looking for a symbol (probably implied by the 'cymbals' pun). Everything you need is in that image.

Next Level

*Spoilers*


8 pills have symbols on them, the rest is just noise.

Look at a list of symbols, and find one that looks slightly like the arrangement of the 8 pills with symbols on them. Throw .php at the end, in lowercase.

I favor the symbol shaped like a florence flask lying on its side, suggesting something having to do with chemistry.

It does have something to do with chemistry, but you couldn't care less, as it all comes down to finding the symbol.

Quite disappointing. I'd have rather messed with molecules like we originally did :)

perhaps a helpful hint for those of us who did not do chemistry at school?

You don't need any chemistry knowledge for this one. I did chemistry and I never saw this symbol before.

It's just a symbol and its name. You can find it on www.symbols.com . Their search system is a bit confusing, but you'll get it.

It is a symbol used in chemistry, and is definitely in the list on www.symbols.com . Use their Graphic Index.
