# A special chemical compound with a touch of math

What do you get when mixing

Aluminium, Neon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Titanium, Vanadium,

and two math ingredients

$$\lim_{n\to\infty}(1+\dfrac{1}{n})^n$$ and (degree,?,seconds)

and

This mix exists only today! Find the mix.

The mix is

VALENTINE'S, which is today!

The chemical elements and mathematical clues

all resolve to single letters/symbols or bigrams: AL, NE, N, S, TI, V for the elements; E and ' (as in minute) for the math.

Then, we “mix” these ingredients by

anagramming them to form a word or phrase that would make thematic sense. Of all the possible anagrams, VALENTINE'S is most appropriate here.

• Note: I came up with this independently from @WeatherVane’s answer, but go upvote them as well!

• @WeatherVane We do have different interpretations of the second mathematical element though, so it’s up to the OP to decide which one of us got it right :)

• I could say there might be a better answer yet: things can always be better.... but don't dare to say that today. Feb 14 '20 at 18:39
• Yeah, your interpretation of the second math symbol is correct, unfortunately the rework of my post did not highlight "and don't ask why", which is part of the question. I consider your answer as correct, I'm sure it is easy to complete and just cosmetic.I give credit to both of you. Feb 14 '20 at 18:43
• I can see now where you get the rot13(ncbfgebcur) but I can't really see the relevance of the math expression (although I know what its value is). Feb 14 '20 at 18:44

Valentines X

The chemical symbols:
Al Aluminium
Ne Neon
N Nitrogen
S Sulfur
Ti Titanium
and the mathematical symbols $$e$$ and $$x$$
The mathematical expression has the value $$1$$ and the missing word is minute
