did

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'passed' is the definition.
(doing is a kind of passing)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for did that I've seen before include "Swindled" , "Performed an action" , "Achieved; cheated" , "was satisfactory" , "Accomplished" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
