When things are not represented the way you know them it gets confusing doesn’t it?

This riddle does just that.

All of the equations given below are correct but they are represented as numbers,

8 + 8 = 4

8 + 6 = 2

4 + 9 = 1

7 + 7 = 2

10 + 10 = 8

Can you find what the above number are denoting and then find out the answer for:

4 + 9 = ?

Answer:

The numbers actually signify time.

So 8 + 8 is 16 i.e. 4 p.m.

So 4 + 9 = 13 which is 1 p.m
