I've tried everything I can, but alas, no can do. :frown: I found the other stages so easy as well, then I got there and thought 'Hurrah' and then it turns out that nothing I type in works. :sigh:

For this stage you must read the concentration of Capsaicin in ppm from the graph (must first log10 the 500000 SHU and then doing 10^(y-value)) then convert ppm to moldm-3
