You don't need to know any science to be able to solve VErBAl ReAcTiONS puzzles, but the puzzles bear a resemblance to chemical reactions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEXAMPLE\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEs + 2 S + P + Si + 2 O + N __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis VErBAl ReAcTiON is a word scramble consisting of one Es, two S's, one P, one Si, two O's, and one N. That is, the word scramble contains the elements Es, S, S, P, Si, O, O, and N. Unscramble these elements to form an 8-symbol word (that's why there are 8 blanks in the puzzle). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eANSWER\u003c\/b\u003e: For this puzzle, the answer is P O S S Es Si O N (possession). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese VErBAl ReAcTiONS resemble chemical reactions in two ways. First, the scrambled elements appear added together on the left of the reaction with coefficients (like the number 2 in the puzzle above) telling you how many of each element the solution contains, and you fill in the result of the VErBAl ReAcTiON by rearranging the elements and writing them on the blanks on the right side of the reaction. Secondly, all of the solutions are chemical words. A chemical word is a word that can be made using symbols from the periodic table. For example, the chemical word POSSEsSiON is made using the symbols for phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), Einsteinium (Es), silicon (Si), and nitrogen (N). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou don't need to be familiar with the periodic table to solve these problems; nor do you need to know any chemistry. You just need to be able to count and unscramble elements to make words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 'Hard' volume consists of words with 7 to 8 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 7 to 16 letter words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA unique feature of this book is that there is a Hints section at the back separate from the Answers section, for puzzlers who may be stuck and want to check just the first letter of the solution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMORE EXAMPLES\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(1) S + Ni + Ge + U __ __ __ __ .\u003cbr\u003e(2) 2 C + N + 2 I + P __ __ __ __ __ __ .\u003cbr\u003e(3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y __ __ __ __ __ .\u003cbr\u003e(4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es __ __ __ __ __ __ . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou can find the answers below. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNote that this hard volume consists of chemical words with 7 to 8 symbols.
