Right Paulie....I never knew the term before until you brought it up on your planes clues.  After looking it up it denotes that a semi-cantilever has struts supporting
the wing.  They say you find out something new every day :) 

I know what Alan means though you would think a full cantilever would be strut supported being that a cantilever is a supporting beam.

The definition of a cantilever is:
A long Beam or Shelf that is ONLY SUPPORTED AT ONE END.

If it is not like that, it is Not a cantilever at all.
That is why I compared the phrase to being- "A little bit pregnant"- something that cannot happen.

the clue stated SEMI- Cantilever, Not Cantilever. So a structure (wing) that is supported at more than one point should be called what then?

Wouldn't more than 1 point would be Externally braced as showed in the diagram?  Semi-cantilever in the diagram shows 1 point of support and Full Cantilever being no additional support (all internally braced)

More info from Pilotfriend.com in the below picture.  For anyone questioning the clue....this aircraft from the clues has what is shown to be a semicantilever wing denoted by the red arrow showing a single brace
supporting from underneath the wing on a high wing plane.  Yes if you want to take that into effect as a clue you can also.  It is a high wing plane.
