Finds out if beatings are regular (5,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
feels the pulse
'beatings are regular' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'finds out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'finds' could be 'feels' ('feel' can be a synonym of 'find') and 'feels' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'if' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
