Those who take on the challenges like this daily will know how well they can challenge your cognitive comprehension and help focus your brain for the travails of life.
Lots of these puzzles really test your mental abilities and force you to think outside the box - that's why they are so tricky.
And another brainteaser we previously put to readers tests your maths skills as well as your comprehension - plus it challenges you to solve it within just 60 seconds.
The puzzle comes from tombola, Britain's biggest bingo site. To celebrate the launch of their new Shamrock Spins game, which came out earlier this month, they have released an Irish-themed challenge.
You will see a series of equations with different symbols - shamrocks, horseshoes, and harps - and you will have to work out what number each symbol represents.
On the face of it, it seems easy. But there are a few twists in this tale that make it trickier that it initially appears. In fact, just one in five (20 percent) readers are able to solve it correctly within a minute and get the correct answer.
On average, it takes people three minutes to come up with the right solution - and 40 per cent of people either get it wrong or give up altogether. Click here to give it a go.

OAP couple ordered to tear out driveway after forking out thousands of pounds
A devoted husband who spent thousands building a driveway to help his disabled wife has been ordered to tear it out after council chiefs refused him planning permission. A gran's disabled husband has been ordered to rip up the £5,000 driveway he built to help her after council chiefs refused him planning permission. Stephen Price, 65, from Hengoed, says he'll fight Caerphilly Council's decision to deny him retrospective approval after he transformed his front garden into a parking space, reports Wales Online. The plumber and builder, who lives on Heol Uchaf, started the work around ten weeks ago to make life easier for wife Kim, 67, who suffers from a string of debilitating illnesses including heart failure, arthritis and fibromyalgia. But just as the project was nearing completion, officials told him to stop and councillors last week voted against his application. The move means Mr Price could now be left with a £13,000 bill to rip the drive out. He said: "I told the council I wanted a drive and they said I'd need a dropped kerb so I paid them what would be about £500 in today's money to put one in," he said. "I can't understand how the highways department didn't speak to the planning department at the time. Nothing was said about any restrictions on using it." When asked why it had taken so long to start work on the drive, Mr Price admitted: "We weren't really desperate for a drive then. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"It was more of a want at that point but now we are desperate with my wife's health and the parking issue getting worse. We saved up to do it." But planners shot the idea down, warning the new drive would strip away the raised garden and leave the property out of step with the "distinctive character of the area". They also claimed it could spark a wave of similar applications. Mr Price, who bought his semi from the council back in 1990, admitted not many houses on his street have drives but argued plenty of others nearby do. "It's like the council is prejudicing against our street saying we can't have driveways when about 20 other houses on the estate have them," said Mr Price, who pointed out that none of his neighbours had objected to his application. Mr Price plans to appeal the decision on the basis that "there is not one single look to the neighbourhood" and that the council is "discriminating against our street". He had told councillors on the planning committee that he had already spent more than £5,000 hiring a digger and excavating part of his property, adding: 'To put it all back – we haven't got the money to do it anyway.' A planning officer recommended refusal partly because approval would make it difficult "to resist other similar developments with cumulative adverse effects on the distinctive character of the area". Speaking in support of the application Hengoed ward councillor Donna Cushing said Mr Price had been "unaware planning permission would be required" and that parking on another street made it hard for Mrs Price to get home. Committee member councillor Nigel Dix urged his colleagues to 'show a bit of compassion' and overrule the officer's recommendation. 'I think in this case we should allow the residents to have their parking bay,' he said. Councillor Shane Williams said he 'sympathised' with the applicant's case but 'if every homeowner decided to do this that would totally undermine' the street. Councillor Mansell Powell called the case 'a bit untidy' with Mr Price 'caught in the middle' of planning rules. He claimed the presence of a dropped kerb outside the property suggested one could 'drive in' to it. The committee voted to refuse the application by eight votes to four with two abstentions. The chairman, councillor Roy Saralis, said he had a 'tremendous amount of sympathy' for Mr Price and told him he had the right to appeal the decision. 'Obviously it's a sad situation but planning is planning,' the chairman added.

In a statement, the force said: ' Kent Polic e is currently attending the scene alongside Kent Fire and Rescue Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service, where one man has been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.' The crash has forced the closure of the M20 in both directions between Junction 3 (Addington) and Junction 1 (Swanley). National Highways said: "The M20 in Kent is closed in both directions between J3 (Addington) and J1 (Swanley) following a collision, resulting in a vehicle falling from an overbridge. "Emergency services including Kent Police are in attendance. National Highways Traffic Officers are also on scene assisting with traffic management. If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time. Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey." Images from the scene show a huge emergency response, with police vehicles blocking the motorway and fire crews working near the wreckage. Tailbacks have built up for several miles, causing disruption across Kent as drivers attempt to divert through local roads. Both the M20 and the A227 remain closed this evening while emergency services investigate the circumstances of the crash.
