I think I'm going to have to do half a dozen reactions on Monday, just to link up the various chains I've made. And then the write-up....

Yeah, it'll be alright I guess. I've only done several reactions, but I have most of my chain planned out, so I should be fine if I get to work and
stop procrastinating (damn it, Minecraft!).

Well, if no one has any major problems with the deadline, then it looks like we're on the home stretch!
Good luck everyone.

Less than 24 hours until competition deadline. I haven't received any submissions yet, so I hope everyone is just waiting until the last minute,
otherwise this could be a bit of a sad ending...
If anyone feels that the deadline is catching up with them too fast, please let me know and I can extend it a couple of days. I would rather have
people submitting than people unable to submit because of a deadline.

I'm never going to get it typed up in 24 hours, particularly since I'm doing it on the computer at work, and the office is closed for Canada Day.

6th of July is just 3 days away !
How am i supposed to become a competent chemist with a clue what i'm doing in 3 days ?!?!?
This is obviously biased towards intelligent people who put in the effort, work things out, and dedicate themselves to learning chemistry.
That leaves us idle morons right out in the cold

Or you could do the 'Classic SM Noobie Special': throw some copper stuff together from a far distance, keep your fingers crossed and hope for the
best?  You know, like that card trick, 'pick up 52'?

Thanks bloggers !
So if i actually Do something i may be in with a chance !
If it were all mere Words, i guess it'd be called Politics and not Chemistry.

Doh !
I completely forgot to do any work at all in order to participate or win.
Quick stab in the dark in lieu :-
Tetrachlorocuprate solution, lob in Al metal, Cu drops out.
Filter/wash the Cu and react with Sulphuric acid to get CuSO4.
Lob in sodium metabisulphite and heat to get Chevraul's Salt
or chuck in ammonia to get tetraaaaamine copper(II)sulphate complex.
That's 3.5 (or 4.5*) so the Bar isn't set too high
Best of luck to all !
Edit:
*Copper(I) chloride presumably being the extra one before Chevraul's

Alrighty, looks like we're all finished up! I have received 5 submissions and am currently in the process of checking them through.
There are some great writeups and some very interesting compounds.
The secondary prize is going to be pretty difficult to choose.
If someone has missed the deadline for some reason, please still send it through as soon as possible and it may still be possible for it to be judged,
no promises though.
I will post back here when I have checked through the submissions and have determined the winner.

Yeah, I thought there was one missing. I sent you message in the Skype group about it. No drama, just email it through to me and I'll include it in
the submission.

Haha, thanks, I've been back for a while... 
Also, I'd heard 'of' the final countdown song, but never listened to it till now, kinda sad...

I often sing that in class, when we're covering dilutions. "What is the final volume? (guitar solo)"
