Simple piece of music couple picked up in China? (10)
I believe the answer is:
chopsticks
'up in china?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'simple piece of music couple picked' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'piece' could be 'stick' (stick is a kind of piece) and 'stick' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'music' could be 'c' and 'c' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chopsticks that I've seen before include "simple piano melody" , "Eating aid - simple piece for piano" , "eating utensils" .)
