To find the nature of the white powder, we had to compare it with four dry white powder drugs.

-  A : BROMAZEPAM (anxiolytic)
-  B : STILNOX (sleeping pill)
-  C : ADVIL (ibuprofen)
-  D : ASPIRINE (aspirin)

After this experiment, we've concluded that the white powder was a mixture of BROMAZEPAM and STILNOX.
