Teraohm

Check your "t"

[seekeerz]

Hi 1oz, think this is just another stuff up in this crossword....the t is correct ( name of a play) but its not the only incorrect clue/answer this week. Bah and humbug !! Doesn't anyone check these things nowadays

Anyway, how are you ?

[iminoz]

Hi skz and oz,
Looks like it's meant to be "femto..."

[iminoz]

Google doesn't show anything for 'femtohm' or femtoohm' though

[1ozzy]

Doin alright Seekz.

I could be wrong but the only two I could find with 7 letters were Microhm and teraohm.

Could be some others in the obscure electronic boffins language.

I'll text the question to my son and see what he reckons.

How's things down south?

[1ozzy]

Hi Iminoz, reckon you have nailed it

[1ozzy]

Boffin son just replied "femto-ohm"

What an educational day today has been so far ;-)

[seekeerz]

not too bad, thanks oz ....way too much wind, lots of trees down in the hills, OH and I have battled through a cold and luckily, not succumbed to pneumonia as several others have.
Currently ferrying chicken soup to elderly friend who has succumbed but he's on the mend now too.

Think the femto thingy will solve that one nicely but still struggling with a couple of others today :((

Off to start up the links game where things are more sensible this time, no strange matches, I hope !

[seekeerz]

Oops, sorry, imi, good morning to you, too

[1ozzy]

Have a good day Seekz, looks like the setter didn't quite get it right, but close. ;-)
