At the sports day, cesium formate brines handlers had a natural advantage over their zinc bromide rivals
 
Do you have an eye for detail? Let’s see shall we? Although the two cartoons pictured above look the same, there are five differences between them. Once you think you’ve found the differences, either scan the marked-up cartoon or write them down and send us your answer. The first five with the correct answers taken randomly from the entrants list win a hand held SkyScout Planetarium from Celestron, which identifies over 6,000 celestial objects at the touch of a button when aimed at any section of the night sky. Best of luck!

Please send your entry to formatematters@cabot-corp.com or fax (44) 1224 870089 by 1 May 2010.
