It takes the average person 28 seconds to crack this new brainteaser - are you brave enough to give it a go? Brain teasers offer numerous cognitive benefits, including improved memory, enhanced problem-solving skills, and increased mental flexibility. They can also reduce stress, boost creativity, and sharpen your thinking process. And for car lovers out there, who are also fond of a puzzle, we have the perfect one for you. A new brainteaser has been unveiled by car insurance experts at AChoice which puts observation skills to the ultimate test. The fun new puzzles asks - can you find the convertible car with its roof down in a sea of vehicles? And what's more, can you spot the convertible in under 15 seconds? If so, you're a genius. It takes the average person 28 seconds to crack this brainteaser. You will be tested as to whether you can beat the clock and find the open-top car as fast as you can. The image features a line-up of cars, all looking pretty similar, but one stands out with its top down. But don't be fooled – this isn't as easy as it sounds. It takes the average reader 28 seconds to crack the puzzle. Can you beat the typical time and find the open-top car faster? Did you manage to find the sporty convertible yet? Do it in under 15 seconds and you're a genius! Scroll down to reveal the answer: 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.

Those who take on the challenges 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 the brainteaser we have for you today 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.

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. How are you getting on? Have you managed to identify what the horseshoe, harp, and shamrock represent yet? If you think you've cracked it, scroll down for the solution. But if you're not quite there yet, don't peek until you've got an answer. The correct answer is 185. The tweaks in the equation from addition to multiplication to subtraction can catch some people out. While others fall foul of the BODMAS rule, which means that multiplication must be done before addition, even if it isn't on the left. The broken down formulas, and the correct numbers for each symbol, are below: Horseshoe: 15 + 15 + 15 = 45 Harp: (15 x 5) + 5 = 80 Shamrock: 12 – 5 = 7 If you enjoyed this brainteaser, then we have some more for you to try. Do you think you can work out which woman is the boy's real mum in this testing teaser? We also have a football-inspired puzzle that challenges you to spot the five hidden match tickets in the crowd. Anyone who can spot the five tickets hidden within the image in less than 60 seconds, is thought to have 20/20 vision. Can you? And if football is your thing, then we've got another. Are you able to find the odd ball out in this sporty image in under 20 seconds? We also found a TikToker who has posted three different brainteasers - surely that's enough to satisfy your puzzling needs for today! Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
