Investigating just 50% of the problems in Greek capital (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

probing

'investigating' is the definition.
(probing is a kind of investigating)

'50% of the problems in greek capital' is the wordplay.
'50% of' means to take half the letters.
'capital' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'greek' is 'g'.
'problems' cut in half is 'prob'.
'prob'+'in'+'g'='PROBING'

'just' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for probing that I've seen before include "Testing" , "Investigating - prodding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
