On my website, you'll discover my simplified deductions—an accessible glimpse into my intricate process of thoughts.
Refrain from requesting the non-simplified version, as it tends to be too complex for most to comprehend.

If someone came to you to learn deduction privately, would you be their teacher?
Gladly. I enjoy talking about the subject and sharing the knowledge with someone who is truly eager to learn and practice.

Your silly little game isn't boring at all. In fact, you seem desperate to drop a hint about yourself. If you want to, do it. I said it already. I have some guesses, can't be sure about your identity yet.

Haven't been on here for ages. Just got your message. Go on, I'm waiting anon. If you want to give any clues, feel free.
If not, keep playing I guess.
Deductions are cool.
As someone who's learning the science of deduction, it feels like how I imagine it would be like to not know how to read. A world of signs, of letters and words forming information if you just knew how to decode it. Learning to make deductions feels like finally learning to read, finally really seeing everything around you and connecting it to things to get information.
It's like learning a new language, one that's everywhere, all the time, just ready for you to notice. There's so much to be gained from that language, I think it's beautiful, and I'm happy to have one more way to quench the thirst for knowledge.
True, it is like a language, a cypher, a mystery everywhere, yet it is quite difficult.
Fluorescein | the experiment
Well, you see, making fluorescein isn't as easy as snapping your fingers and voilà! It requires a bit of scientific know-how and experimentation. In this particular experiment, I attempted to make fluorescein. Unfortunately, the first try didn't go as planned due to a shortage of equipment and having to make do with whatever we had at hand. But hey, that's the beauty of science—it's all about learning and trying again. Now, let me break it down for you. To make fluorescein, we need a few key ingredients that are always the same, regardless of whether we succeed or not:
Phthalic anhydride
Resorcinol
ZnCl2
In the first step, I mixed ten millimoles of phthalic anhydride and twenty millimoles of resorcinol in a two neck flask. I also added a magnetic stirrer to ensure everything blends together nicely. Now, the crucial part is achieving a uniform mixture, and for that, we need to heat things up in an oil bath at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, I didn't have silicone oil, which is ideal for reaching that temperature. So, we improvised and thought using a sand bath might do the trick. It wasn't perfect, though, as the magnetic stirrer didn't work properly, and the mixing wasn't as uniform as we hoped. But hey, I'm not one to give up easily!
Once the substances were heated and combined, it was time to introduce twenty millimoles of zinc chloride into the mix, adding it slowly through one of the flask necks. Now, we let the substances mingle at the same temperature for a good 45 to 90 minutes. Patience is key!
When they turned a deep red colour, I switched off the heater and let the temperature drop to ninety degrees Celsius. At this point, I added twenty millilitres of water and one millilitre of concentrated HCl. Now, here's an important note: toxic vapours are produced during this process, so it's crucial to carry it out in a well-ventilated space or under a hood. Safety first, always!
To ensure complete dissolution of the substances, I placed the solution back on the heater. Once that was done, I filtered the solution, washed it with water, and finally, dried it in an oven.
Now, here's where things took a turn. The first attempt didn't yield any precipitate, which meant starting over from scratch. But I didn't let that dampen my spirits.
For the second try, I used an oil bath with silicone oil, which provided better results. After going through all the previous steps, it was time for the purification stage.
In this stage, we have to make a solution containing NaOH and HCl.
After adding them (dissolved in NaOH solution and precipitating with dilute HCl), filter the solution several times and wash it with water. Then, dry it in an oven at one hundred degrees Celsius.
And there you have it (I will show the results in the post I'm going to make in the future. So, stay tuned)! Fluorescein is ready to shine its vibrant colours. Science can be a bumpy road, but with determination and a bit of improvisation, we can make amazing discoveries. Allons-y!

Hello.
I've been busy for quite some time, working on different projects simultaneously. But as I promised, the first part of my chemiluminescence experiment is going to be posted soon.
Without further ado, I bring to you the most amusing observation of today:
This experiment/observation was really fun to do, to be honest. So, I was sitting in the physics class and noticed something astonishing about how the professor behaved.
The goal of the experiment was to find out how to get her to acknowledge me (by saying a related word, such as 'well done').
As I answered all the questions correctly, nothing special happened.
But then I paid more attention to the conversations where she used “well done.” That was the main thing I needed for my experiment.
She used the words “well done” and acknowledged someone when they used exactly the same words/sentences she uses and answered correctly. So, I decided to give it a try, and it worked.
For the first answer, I used my own words and sentence structure. However, when I answered the second question with the type of words she usually uses, she told me the exact words I wanted: “Well done.”
Goal achieved.
hi! love your blog, it's really fun to read the daily stories of you guys. it would be wonderful if you write more details and dialogues between you and Nirvana(I really need longer posts they are wonderful)
btw i had a small question, what is Nirvana like in person? (please say all the good and bad qualities I love to watch you guys have a friendly fightt lmaoo - pardon me they are too funny to read)
Hello ! I'll certainly take your thoughts into consideration in the future.
Now, regarding Nirvana, I must admit she is an exceptionally intelligent individual. However, I must say that she is an anti-social person and a little annoying (maybe more) because she doesn't know that she shouldn't express all her deductions in any situation. In the real sense,she can understand everything from other persons with a single glance. Sometimes, she says things that I initially believe are mere fabrications but to my surprise, they were true ... (at times her words force me to get us out of that place.)
On another note, she seems to be constantly bored, even when she has a lot of unfinished tasks throughout the day. when we're apart, she never fails to remind me of this through text messages. I'm at a loss as to how to address this issue but it has almost become a normal part of my life.
Despite her quirks, Nirvana is involved in a wide array of activities, and she excels in many of them. Whether it's playing the violin, writing poetry, or cooking, she brings a unique perspective and innovative ideas to everything she undertakes. It's these qualities that make her endeavors special and one-of-a-kind.
In summary, while she can be challenging to deal with at times, there's no denying her remarkable intelligence and her ability to make a lasting impression in almost every thing.
I can't deny anything at all. However, did you just call me annoying? Was that some sort of sarcasm?
Challenging to deal with?
Constantly bored?
Well done.
Oh, but you certainly missed the title you gave me a few days ago, you know which one I'm talking about: "drama queen".
I'm desperately waiting for someone to ask me about your characteristics.
It's unbelievable that people on the Internet like to read our "friendly" fights.
Yes, you have a knack for being rather annoying, I must say (well, more often than not). As for the nickname I bestowed upon you, I have no intention of writing about it ... However, I'm genuinely curious as to why you actually liked it ?
Now, if you're interested in discussing about me ... I suppose I can be the one asking you the question. So , what am i like in person ?
Trust me , there's no need for you to divulge personal details or dig into all the deductions you made .
@deducter let us know the deductions!
Well, here's an interesting thing that happened yesterday, one that I never anticipated in such a situation. We were right in the middle of an experiment, and she kept on showing off all the things she was deducing and the information she was gatheringI was exhausted, but I made an effort not to let it show in my demeanor. In the middle of her work, she casually asked me for a glass of water. Without any objections, I went and fetched the glass. when I returned, she abandoned her experiment and started making deductions about me. she claimed that "I went without asking any questions, for something that wasn't necessary and shouldn't have been bothered with, thus implying that I was bored and tired" .
Firstly, let me inform you that I'm going to post all the deductions I made about you (well, maybe not all of them) in our first meeting as soon as I finish my work.
Now, about the deduction I made yesterday about that glass of water; I think I can even explain it further. I noticed that you were exhausted while working in the lab, so I “casually” asked you - as you mentioned (do I really ask you favours regularly?) something to do.
But how did I draw the conclusion that you were bored and tired?
I observed your walking pace; slower and more relaxed than usual. You took your time to fill that glass with water.
That glass was brimful of water. You never fill my glass full to the brim. Conclusion? You dawdled.
Did you resist? No.
Did you ask any questions? No.
Why? You wanted to get out of the lab and come back as late as possible. Why? You didn't like the experiment? No. You didn't like the lab? No. You were in the middle of a busy day? Yes. Conclusion? Exhausted/bored/tired
Oh, you also forgot to tell them how long did it take for me to make my deductions. Go on, tell them.
So you dont have friends?...
I have one,
There it is.
(@jasmin-k Try not be offended. Are you expecting me to apologise? Well, technically speaking, humans have skulls; conclusion, you have a skull.)
It's a lovely skull after all
Daily observations
Observed two girls today. Both were primary schoolers(based on their height, choice of clothing, voices, other available data)
They both had wet hair, but not wet clothes. They were carrying medium sized bags.
One of the girls was using a towel to dry her hair.
Both smelled like chlorine.
Conclusion? Just got out of the pool, They go to the same place to swim(most likely a swimming class).
At first glance(well it was more than a glance. Let's say for 20-30 seconds) they seemed like sisters to me, but then I observed them for another 20 seconds; and that was when I found out that they are "best friends", not sisters.
How, you may ask?
Well I payed close attention to their conversation. One of the girls was telling the other one, she got a phone when she was 9 years old and the other one seemed surprised and ask: oh did you really get a phone at that age? She also started talking about her family.
Conclusion? Not from the same family. Not sisters. But, they're really close freinds.

The curious case of x's sudden death
A woman (let's call her x for now) was found dead by her houseboy. The people that live in her house (which are our suspects) are:
1. Her houseboy 2. Her brother 3. Her maid 4. Her gardener
I did my research and first of all it was obviously a fake suicide because paraquat does not kill immediately. She could maybe prick herself with the rose thorn but it would still take at least a day before death.
And we have a brother who supported her obesity. She may have had diabetes and she by giving her sweets was killing her. I don’t have to write this thought process of mine here if it’s annoying, it just helps me think telling it to someone.
He would probably also inherit all the money after her so it would tie into the motive.
Diabetes, an intriguing possibility indeed. However, considering the lethal dose of 200 mg and the slow poisoning method, methyl mercury poisoning seems to be the more fitting solution in this case (as I said, this case has different solutions).
The brother's motive, as you rightly pointed out, was money. It appears that financial gain was his driving force behind this heinous act.
Methyl mercury, a highly toxic substance, could easily be concealed within the chocolates. The daily consumption of these treats would slowly introduce the poison into x's system, leading to her ultimate demise.
Therefore, we can conclude that the brother, driven by his desire for monetary gain, meticulously laced the chocolates with a lethal dose of methyl mercury. This method allowed him to conceal the cause of death and appear as if it were a tragic accident.
Your reasoning was logical, indeed.
