Was this weight a ton? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hundred
This clue might be a double definition.
'was this weight' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a ton?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hundred that I've seen before include "Ten squared" , "cricketing achievement" , "entirely associated with 27 [PERCENT]" , "Square number" , "Old subdivision of a shire or county" .)
