The experiment involves the use of water, but has nothing to do with osmosis. That's all I'll say for a bit. Otherwise, maybe think about the other lines too.

the only science project that comes to mind is that you evaporate water so that crystals are formed, if you have a string in a glass of water containing, say, ordinary salt or sugar (the salt is dissolved in the water), when the water evaporates, the crystals form on the string instead...
so the only thing that comes to mind as an answer would be materia, with it's refining process and all that... although i'm probably waaay off...
But i'm studying a science-program in school so that's why i know of different experiments... if that one's wrong then i'll probably think of another one... HEHE

Timster I think you mean an experiment in which
you make a saturated solution of one compound (CuSO4,
copper sulphate, because it's pretty :P) and in that
solution you hang a cristal of that compound (copper sulphate).
Then you leave it alonoe and wait for the compound to come
out of it's solution, it will then bind to the already present
crystal of the compound.
The proces is called crystalliztion. So I guess the riddle has
to do something with those materia crystals.
Its allowed, definitly, and i've made chemistry references before in my riddles (no one got it).
As for WHAT the answer is, saturation of a string...well, most of us know what saturation is, but in crystalisation, it is definitly not the string is saturated. The solution is saturated (works better if its heated too), not the string. So I honestly cannot think of any chemistry experiment (and i've done a few) that fits this description. The thing that hits me here is "rightfully gain copper". This could indeed refer to the pretty blue copper sulphate, but you dont gain copper - you gain a copper salt. A possible alternative is that it refers to a piece of copper equipment, and the crystals might be some of the many strange articles seen in the game which may be crystals.

yeah i meant like crystallization but i know the experiment you're talking of (did it like 2-3 weeks ago actually, isn't it nice when you're in a science program) and thats not the one i'm refferring to, mine is ALOT simpler (at least the chemistry behind the experiment)
but anyway, back to the subject... it says in the riddle saturation UNTO a string... meaning the string wasn't saturated in the beginning, the sat. is added, hence my choice for example experiment, when the water evaporates, the salt simply moves on to the string, because it breaks the structure of the water (aaw man i don't know what it's called in english!), it's a difference in environment sort of...
maybe like the refinging process of mako creating materia, hence my guess, materia

The experiment, I know what you mean, is indeed crystalisation, and the reason it forms is because the salt which cannot be held in solution any longer solidifies in groups - crystals. I suppose now it makes sense.

The Mako condensing machinery at Nibelheim Reactor?Originally Posted by musenji
My Cure spell brings all the boys to the yard,
And they're like: "It's better than yours."
Damn right, it's better than yours!
I could Heal you, but I have to charge.
The answer isn't materia or a mako reactor (or part of a mako reactor).
Yep, I was referring to the project where you mix sugar in boiling water to the point of saturation, then let the water cool, and crystals form on the string. Didn't occur to me that you could do it with salt too...usually kids would opt for sugar so that they could eat the crystals, but sugar vs. salt isn't the important thing.
does it have anything to do with the mako shells that the sister ray fires?
Why do you imprison your saviour?
Nope!
is it related to the yuffie sidequest?
the trials could be referring to the pagoda quest...

Is it to do with Red XIII and Seto etc?

Nope, neither of those.
Edit: Hmm, okay, a hint...it has nothing to do with materia or mako.

I want to say icecicles. i don't rightly know why. Otherwise, I would've guessed the whole 'thing' of mako that sephiroth was in when Cloud gave him materia of doomy-death. But that's not it, becuase the answer has nothing to do with mako. Crap. Is this a process or an object? Something you do?
Not icicles...
There was some important information about the nature of the answer revealed from finding out what the science project was about...at least I thought there was.
Is the second stanza a complete mystery? It's about a different aspect of the answer than the first stanza. "Your new hope" refers to the answer itself. So it's an object.
