'arrangement? well no' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'i have a fifty-fifty' is the wordplay.
'have' says to put letters next to each other.
'a fifty-fifty' becomes 'LL' (L is 50 in Roman numerals).
'i'+'ll'='ILL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "Ailing" , "Badly - in need of medical care" , "Poorly" , "Infirm" , "In a bad way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
