Miracle Max needs to make two potions (lets call them N & W)
to provide the cure.
For potion N he takes the following steps:
1. He finds his jar of Sodium Sulphate and adds to
it some Silver Oxide and some Barium.
2. He then asks his witch (sorry wife) where she's put
the Milk of Magnesia. To this he adds some Zinc and then
Water.
3. With a very steady hand he then takes the result
from step 1 and divides it by the mixture from step 2.....
For potion W he takes the following steps:
4. Zinc Oxide is not quite enough for this part so
he adds some Nitrogen.
5. Pass the salt? I need table salt plus
Aluminium.
6. He finally then takes the result from step 4 and
divides it by the mixture from step 5.....
Using these two potions he is able to achieve his goal.
