    It's not a bug, it's a feature... 

    If you managed to create rock-hard 22K gold, then you were onto
    something and it is a crying shame you were in such a hurry to throw
    it into aqua regia. I'd say, instead of regarding it as the waste of
    a morning, you should have asked yourself if it was a "Eureka"
    moment. Now, we'll never know, unless you can re-create the
    conditions and get the result analyzed.
