A version of maths problem that would make you gasp? (6)
I believe the answer is:
asthma
'problem that would make you gasp?' is the definition.
'asthma' can be an answer for 'problem' (I have seen 'Respiratory problem ' mean 'asthma' so perhaps 'problem' could also mean 'asthma'). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.
'a version of maths' is the wordplay.
'version of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'maths' with letters rearranged gives 'sthma'.
'a'+'sthma'='ASTHMA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asthma that I've seen before include "Breathing illness" , "which leaves one breathless" , "Chronic breathing condition" , "Breathing problem" , "Respiratory disease" .)
