Animal riddles

What animal gets lighter when you flip it over?

An animal that gets lighter when flipped over… Just imagining various animals flipping over makes you feel warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it? But no matter how many real animals you flip, you won’t reach the answer! And since there are so many animals, guessing at random won’t help much either.

The key to solving this riddle is to focus on the crucial word “karui” (軽い), meaning “light.”

When written in katakana, it’s “カルイ” (karui).

If you flip it—i.e., read it backward—it becomes “イルカ” (iruka), which means “dolphin.” So the answer is “dolphin.”

What is the 17th animal? That’s the question.

With number-related quizzes, you tend to wonder if the Chinese zodiac is involved, and you consider various possibilities.

You might also think along the lines of “the number before the 18th is 17…” The answer makes you go, “Ah, that makes sense—of course!” It’s a really good question.

An animal troubled because it has run out of toilet paper.

If you forget at the start that it’s a riddle, it’s hard to come up with the answer.

The wording of the question is impactful and pulls your thinking in a certain direction.

The answer is “ookami” (wolf).

It’s toilet paper—in other words, paper (kami).

Because you’re in trouble (komatteiru), you add “oo” (big/oh), and together it becomes “ookami.” It’s a riddle where you can’t reach the answer unless you combine one association with another.
