Part 5: Week 2 Challenges - Increasing the difficulty

Week 2 Challenges - Increasing the difficulty

The theme for this week is basic, but more challenging levels. Getting you prepared for tougher challenges, you'll be dealing with more complex molecules, and doing more than just one simple bond.

As a reminder:

-Copy the block of code I put under each assignment.
-Launch the game, click 'sign on' to Research Net.
-If the game asks you to "hack in" to the network, this is just an in-game flavor warning that you haven't progressed far enough in the main game to have seen every possible mechanic yet. You can 'hack' into the system with no consequence whatsoever.
-Click "Create or Import an Assignment" at the bottom.
-Click "Import". If a valid level shows up, you've probably done everything correctly.


Challenge 4 - Deadly Soft Drinks


Task: Decompose Benzoic Acid into Carbon Dioxide and Benzene.
Goal: LEAST CYCLES
Tiebreaker is least symbols, then fastest time of solution submission.

Challenge 5 - Combustion 101


Task: Burn Methane into Carbon Dioxide and Water. Based off the "Combustion" series by AtomicNinjaWeasel, I make the 101 version easier by giving you more bonders and a sensor.
Goal: LEAST CYCLES
Tiebreaker is least symbols, then fastest time of solution submission.
