title: Informatics and mass spectrometry challenge.
abstract: For the first time this year, we would like to invite you to participate in the Analytical Challenge, which is a series of puzzles to entertain and challenge our readers. We hope that you not only find this feature stimulating but that it provides you with points of further interest for your work and study. And please note: there is a prize to be won (a Springer book from our catalogue up to a value of 75 Euros).These Analytical Challenges are published every two months. Two years ago, we first began with a series of spectroscopy challenges by Ernö Pretsch and Renato Zenobi, which may still be viewed on the 'Springer' chemistry website www.springeronline.com. Mass spectrometry is the topic in the present challenge. Please read on...
