 		This took a long time, but I think I've got the right answers.... it's not accepting them though. Here's what I reckon, if anyone can come up with different then please help!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. Prozac / Fluoxetine hydrochloride
2. Aspirin
3. ATP

 		You seem to be on the money, I can only suggest:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ATP is the abbreviation for adenosine triphosphate, don't know if that counts as a common name. Also known as adenylpyrophosphate

Also, molecule 1, Prozac (if that is indeed a CF 3 group) could be Fluoxetin(e), but there is no HCl, so it cant be Fluoxetine hydrochloride. Prozac is more of a 'commercial' name than a 'common' name, such as Aspirin.

So, my first try at an answer would be: 1. Aspirin, 2. Fluoxetine and 3. Adenylpyrophosphate.

 		My bad, that was actually a copy and paste error Embarassed

I tried the first two you suggested, as for the last one it seems a bit too long-winded when every site I referred to abbreviated it to ATP.... have emailed mind candy to see what they say, but will give those suggestions a try when the card unlocks tonight...

 		Another suggestion:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Originally the name aspirin was Bayer's trade name for acetylsalicylic acid, which is the molecular name, although "aspirin" is used in the UK at least as the generic name. In some other countries the abbreviation "ASA" is used as the generic name. So it might be either of these two.

Hi Neil,

You're right - there was a printing error on the card and the numbers 1 and 2 were swapped round.
We've updated our databases now, so please try again and let me know if you have any problems.

Best regards,

Perplex City Customer Service


So there we go Very Happy

I'm surprised this post has lasted this long. Mods? Deletion? Confused
