Explanation of the mapping: If an input atom is salt it does nothing. Start with lead-lead. Input from left to right does: Atom 1 fire project left by 1. Atom 2 fire project right by 1. Atom 3 fire project left by 2. Atom 4 fire project right by 2. Atom 5 fire and atom 4 salt project right by 4. Atom 5 fire and atom 4 fire and atom 3 salt project left by 4. Atom 5 fire and atom 4 fire and atom 3 fire project both by 2. The missed inputs are silver-lead, silver-tin, gold-lead and gold-tin. This is because the left atom can only get up to silver and gold when atoms 4 and 5 are both fire while atom 4 already makes the right atom iron. Instead of conditionally using the quicksilver it's more efficient to create silver and iron from atoms 3, 4 and 5 and conditionally throwing it away instead. Only atoms 1, 2 and the both by 2 case from atom 5 have conditional quicksilver.
