The intricacies of rowing? (3,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
ins and outs
This clue might be a double definition.
'the intricacies of' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'rowing?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ins and outs that I've seen before include "cabinet reshuffle?" , "signs on doors perhaps" , "parliamentary election result?" , "Details" .)
