'produce large flyer? no' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'teams up every so often' is the wordplay.
'every so often' indicates alternate letters.
'teams'+'up'='teamsup'
The alternating letters of 'teamsup' are 'EMU'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
