Hi I know that beats me means.
I don’t know, I have no idea and I know it’s an American expression. My question is, do people in the UK or Australia use this phrase too?

Hi Andreana,

It’s certainly used in her in the UK but I can’t speak for Australia.
You might like to know another expression meaning roughly the same:

It’s beyond me
