A well balanced result (3)
I believe the answer is:
tie
This clue could be a double definition.
'a well' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'balanced result' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "garb" , "Draw for neckware" , "Equality of score" , "No-win situation" , "Gentleman's item of clothing" .)
