I had an epiphany in biology today: molecular structure is just a bunch of little games of Hashiwokakero.

This is easy.

Well. Ish.

It can get a lot more complicated that that, but I suppose as an understanding it will do for icky biological foo. :p

Of course it's more complicated than that. I'm just trying to get past December, here. ;)

Meanwhile I'm busy panicking about the idea of doing physics for the next year. Enough so that I'm failing to, you know, GO AND SORT OUT MY LOAN ARRIVING THIS WEEK. :/ *hugs* (I needed to tell someone so I'd actually go and do it...)

Go sort out your loan, sweetie. *kiss*

[kaberett.livejournal.com]

Have done. *squish*

Thank you for being patient with me. :p

Jeez, your loan took five minutes to sort out? Wish I lived in your country.

Hah! No.

It took lots of paperwork and several months. This was the final bit of paperwork that meant that the money would ACTUALLY SHOW UP IN MY ACCOUNT; it was due to yesterday, and the college only told us today that they wanted to see said bit of paper...

Hee! Be sure to point this out to your TA; s/he will surely get a grin out of it!

And conversely, having never seen that puzzle type before, I figured it out just from your comment that molecular structure is just like it. Heh.

That's about right! Now you understand valences and how not to cross the streams. Er, bonds. Well, that part doesn't match Hashiwokakero quite as well, so just stick to the valences. :-)

Important safety tip. Thanks, Devgon.

A wonderful game. I, however, wish the clock would stop automatically once the puzzle is solved, instead of having to press a button to stop the clock. It could be right, but you wouldn't know.

Meh. And yes, I do see a bit of semblance between molecular structures and Hashiwokakero. Nifty find.
