"Hands up" for a time (6)
I believe the answer is:
twelve
This could be a double definition.
'hands up' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'time' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twelve that I've seen before include "The midnight hour" , "Lunchtime" , "Basis of duodecimal system" , "Midnight or noon" , "Apostles and members of the jury" .)
