SMEDG COMPETITION NUMBER 4 – CLUE #5

The job was nearly complete, one last task, to image closed kelp fronds without damaging the delicate structure. A simple injection of the sulphate and a series of x-rays and it would be done. Nothing more to do except remove the ‘a’ from the anagram, use it as the first letter in the element with Atomic #47 to help determine another commodity in the project. But, the project name. First part – try rhyming with a popular but illegal 60’s combustible relaxant and earlier rope component followed by W.C. someone word association singular or in a paddock. For the corporate think seriously orthogonal linears – all lustrous, radiant and resplendant – and when you can’t miss with this opportunity. Now find the paper…..try Past Talks. A tour of Prof. Donald Wise’s Linears paper in Diversions will be of minimal use unless you’ve forgotten orthogonal’s meaning. So none of the above makes sense. Good! We’re looking for a project and the company that owns it. Get on with it! Except for those of you that have cracked it already and are speeding on to the next clue. GO! GO! GO!
