Something full of holes presenting a problem? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riddle

I believe this is a double definition.

'something full of holes' is the first definition.
(riddle is a type of sieve)

'a problem?' is the second definition.
(riddle is a kind of problem)

'presenting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for riddle that I've seen before include "Run through" , "Sphinx's conundrum?" , "Cryptic question" , "Cryptic statement" , "it's full of holes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
