Not right, but very good! And not entirely a million miles away from the answer.

This is the first time I ever attempt this. I am stuck on the parasite part Run away - Fast measurable value - ID of uranium - U remove the tail of this parasite - ? painstaking - FastIdious

I got the last part pretty quickly but I am ashamed to admit how long it took to get the first bit :( run = r measurable value = metric run away from measurable value = metic uranium = u parasite = louse remove the tail of this parasite = lous meticulous = very precise about details, even trivial ones; painstaking

[Prerak Patel]

-ULOUS seems the key now. If the previous one is not the answer, I'll give a last shot: meticulous/scrupulous

Run away from measurable value METIC (METRIC without the R) of uranium U and remove the tail of this parasite LOUS(E) METICULOUS: is painstaking Prerak's work helped me.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Damn, I just tried my last shot in the dark, but you have already posted it with solution. I couldn't have got METRIC part in 3 hours anyway. Great. :thumbsup:

Pipped me to the post. I also had trouble getting the beginning part.

I got stuck so went off and watched an episode of Dexter for inspiration. It worked! :)

[Dalek Dave]

Well done.
