Clue #45 (tiny) was contacted by: Erik the Outgolfer. Make your guess!

3 : Origin of a man who "once was" (by GentlePurpleRain)
45 : tiny (by msh210) (contacted by Erik the Outgolfer)
8 : Zerg worm (by GentlePurpleRain)

Erik the Outgolfer

45: NANO

msh210

45: yes

Lens

You guessed correctly. Deusovi must give up a letter!

GentlePurpleRain

I think Deusovi should get that for NANOSCOPIC.

Erik the Outgolfer

21:04

yeah me too

Deusovi

but NANOSCOPIC didn't count?

GentlePurpleRain

It's technically more correct than NANO.

msh210

If you say so. I don't know the standards here.

John Dvorak

agreed

Erik the Outgolfer

not really a standard, just a very close meaning that should probably be accepted

jafe

GentlePurpleRain

Deusovi, you might have to post another "Defending" message to make Lens happy.

Deusovi

"close enough" guesses are accepted (so people don't have to try a bunch of different suffixes and pluralizations)

msh210

@Deusovi okay

Deusovi

if there's nothing disambiguating, that is

(and this just is a general rule - you can be as loose or strict as you want)

eh i'll give up a letter to move the game along

Erik the Outgolfer

I mean, "nano-" isn't even a full word, compared to "nanoscopic"
