Rain is something that we're all too used to being in the UK - but can you answer this maths puzzle?

There's a catch, and you need to answer it in just 10 seconds, and it's so much trickier than you may think at first glance. You're asked to find the value of different items when they're added together and also multiplied - which is where it can get a little bit confusing and you need to pay attention. The whole equation is the red Wellington boots plus a yellow hoodie, multiplied by blue gloves. But what's the answer?

Brainteaser puzzles test the reader's critical thinking and problem-solving skills by challenging them to solve a problem, and these challenges can often improve concentration and even intelligence overall. So, let's get started to work out the above from Jagran Josh.

Yellow hoodie plus yellow hoodie plus yellow hoodie equals six, which means that each individual hoodie must equal two. Then, a yellow hoodie, plus a red Wellington boot, plus another red Wellington boot equals 18, meaning that the singular Wellington boot must be 8. Still with us? Good.

Then, this is where it gets a little more complicated, as four gloves + boot = 14 gloves = (14 - 8) / 4 = 1.5.

So, the final value of two rubber boots + raincoat x four gloves is 16 + 2 × (4 X1.5 ) = 16 + 12 = 28.
