Pharaoh's snake
When I first looked at the title, I wasn't sure if it was going to be about chemistry or APL.

Just out of curiosity, what's the APL angle?

The original title was
4Hg(SCN)₂ Δ= 4HgS + 2CS₂ + 3(CN)₂↑ + N₂↑
The moderators changed it.

They edited the original title, which was the chemical formula for the reaction. At first glance, I really thought it was APL for a second (with all the symbols it had in the formula).
