Challenge information
Narrow,
Artisan of the Red Science 3 (50% base) || 0 - high-risk (20%) || 1 - high-risk (30%) || 2 - tough (40%) || 3 - very chancy (50%) || 4 - chancy (60%) || 5 - modest (70%) || 6 - very modest (80%) || 7 - low-risk (90%) || 8 and above - straightforward (100%)Success
An idea on the far side of sense
Success Instructions: This requires no more Parabolan Research than you have already done. The rest must be completed in your Laboratory.
Wiki note: The success instructions are a little misleading; you don't need Parabolan Research for this project at all.
