Puzzle 27: Under Pressure

Can you turn COAL into a DIAMOND?
You won!

TRIVIA

It's commonly believed that diamonds are formed from coal - but it's not true.

Although both diamonds and coal are primarily made of carbon most diamonds that have been dated, were formed long before there were land plants. Coal is formed from plants, so the diamonds could not have been formed from coal.
