Some not present presumably? That's somewhat stupid (3,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
not all there
'somewhat stupid' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'some not present presumably?' is the wordplay.
'some not' becomes 'not'.
'present presumably?' becomes 'allthere' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'not'+'allthere'='NOT ALL THERE'
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
