Hola from the Vega Baja. I found this puzzle to be very enjoyable, perhaps because I solved it this morning instead of in the middle of last night!.

Quite a bit of chemistry included, surely that couldn’t have been done on purpose!

Morning All!. I found this puzzle reasonably straightforward although I couldn’t remember how I arrived at 2d when writing the review and there was a bit of controversy on 5d on another site – it does appear to contain a factual error although that didn’t really affect the ability to solve the clue – more of a niggle.
