Puzzling Asked by Beastly Gerbil on September 4, 2021
It had been a while since my favourite newspaper had published any puzzles. In fact, it had been so long since ‘The Pitiable Coder’ released $mathbb{CHEMICRYPTICS}$, that I was beginning to think that they had forgotten about them completely!
But then yesterday, I opened up the paper and to my delight found a puzzle column! This time it had 3 new puzzles!!!
I wonder if you could help me find the answer? Here’s the puzzles from the paper:
