What is the reason melons develop their net-like patterns?

It’s said that the net-like pattern on melons forms to prevent the skin from cracking.

After pollination, melon fruits grow extremely rapidly from the early to middle stages.

As the flesh expands quickly, cracks appear in the skin, which cannot stretch enough.

This is the beginning of the net pattern.

The cracks do not form all at once; as the fruit continues to enlarge, new cracks appear one after another, and the repeated process of these cracks healing creates the intricate net-like pattern.

What will the weather be like when contrails linger for a long time?

Why contrails form: How can contrails tell us the weather!? #WeatherNews Weather Picture Book #Clouds

When you look up at the sky, you sometimes see thin white streaks lingering behind airplanes.

These are called contrails—long, narrow white clouds that form after an airplane passes.

Sometimes contrails remain in the upper sky for a long time, and when they do, it’s said that rain may be on the way.

The reason is that when a low-pressure system is approaching from the west, the upper air is moist, making contrails slower to evaporate.

As a low-pressure system approaches, the weather tends to deteriorate.

Conversely, if contrails disappear quickly, it likely means the weather won’t worsen anytime soon.

A game where you associate kanji with pictures

[Associative Kanji] Brain Training #3: Guess Which Kanji the Picture Represents – A Popular Association Game for Dementia Prevention

Let’s look at a picture and use our imagination! Here’s an idea for a game where you associate kanji with a picture.

It’s said to be popular as a way to help prevent dementia.

For example, prepare an illustration showing three trees in a row and think about which kanji it represents.

The answer is “森” (mori, meaning “forest”).

In this way, it’s a simple and fun game where you look at an illustration and answer with the kanji that fits.

Since it makes you think, you’ll likely feel refreshed when you figure out the answer! Give it a try!

Association Quiz ~Food Edition~

[Elderly Care Recreation] Association Quiz — Food Edition — [10 Questions Total]

Let me introduce a game called “Association Quiz,” where you guess the food in question using three hints.

As the hints are revealed, the identity of the food gradually becomes clearer, but those with sharp intuition might reach the answer before the final hint.

You can write the questions on a whiteboard or read them aloud so anyone can join, and it works well for both small and large groups.

It’s also great fun to play while chatting with the person next to you—saying things like, “What could it be?”—so I highly recommend it.

Single-Overlaid Kanji Association Quiz

Single-Character Overlaid Kanji Association Quiz! Who will claim the glory...? [No way!]

Let me introduce the “Overlapping Kanji Single-Character Association Quiz,” which features a two-step challenge: writing multiple kanji stacked in one spot, then guessing what the combined kanji makes you think of.

First, you have to decipher the kanji gathered in one place—but it won’t be straightforward.

Don’t rush; tackle them one by one.

Once you figure out the overlapping kanji, derive an answer such as something associated with that character—an object, a person’s name, or a place name.

Since it’s quite difficult, it’s a good idea to start with problems that overlap just two kanji.

Be sure to savor the sense of accomplishment when you get it right!
