@Rahul S the erg and the joule measure the same thing, the way the foot and the mile measure the same thing. The erg is smaller, therefore the erg is part of a joule. Complaints about metric clues should focus on “Le Mans race unit: Abbr.” My first thought was LAP but that’s not an abbreviation. The correct abbreviation for kilometer is KM. I thought about KMS but “unit” is singular. KIL could be the abbreviation for anything 1000 times a base unit: kilogram, kilojoule, kilowatt, kilobyte, or maybe kiloerg?
@Kate ugh, because I don’t know 12th night & didn’t have many letters for SEBASTIAN, I was thinking of an oven and tried MEAT. When I got enough letters to figure out the character name and realized the third letter was E, because I didn’t get the clue I figured the first two letters must be wrong also. Finally guessed MEET and got the screen saying I had solved it so came here to find out why, so I also learned I live in the same town as the constructor. Interesting.
@Matt and wiktionary says that usage is dated
