RE: The Steemit Crypto Challenge #11 - CC2k17.2
As @digicrypt wrote, the morse code is C O U N T T H E B O N D S.
But the number of bonds is different in my opinion:
- X = N2 has 3 bonds.
- Z = C6H6 (benzene) has 15 bonds.
- But Y is just sketched wrong: it should be cyclohexane (C6H12) with altogether 18 bonds.
- The sum would be 36 in this case.
Not to be misleading, and as I wrote already in my other comment, the molecule Y need not to be drawn wrong (it's 1,3-Cyclohexadiene) - I think the red color is used to point out which kind of bonds we shall count. Probably we have to count all double bonds (and if not, then all multiple bonds: double and triple bonds).
