When is honey sweet?

Honey is sweet and delicious, isn’t it? You can pour it on pancakes, add it to tea instead of sugar—there are countless dishes and products that use honey.

So let’s try a honey-themed trick quiz! When is honey sweet? “In the season when bees fly a lot?” “Does it have something to do with the number eight?” Many people might think that, but the answer is actually very simple! Just think: when do you feel it’s “sweet”? If you approach it that way, the correct answer should come to you easily!

There are 5 candies. If you lick one, how many are there?

It seems like a question that would trip up adults more than children.

When you read the problem statement, you instinctively want to treat it like an arithmetic problem and think, “5 – 1 = 4, so the answer is 4!” But remember, it’s a trick question.

The hint to solving it is that the candy wasn’t given to someone else, nor did it disappear.

If you think about how many candies you have after you lick one, you should arrive at the correct answer.

An elementary school student with a flexible mind might solve it right away!

What kind of bird plays by getting tangled in string?

What kind of bird plays by getting tangled in string?

If a bird gets tangled in a string, you’d think it wouldn’t be able to spread its wings and fly, right? That would be true for an ordinary bird.

But there’s a bird that can still “fly” even when it’s tangled in string.

It’s not a bird soaring in the sky, but one that changes into various shapes in your hands.

To find the answer, try thinking of words that include “tori” (bird).

What words come to mind? Here’s a hint: it’s a game played with string.

Have you figured it out? The answer is ayatori (cat’s cradle).

What gets smaller the bigger it gets?

What gets smaller the bigger it gets?

The bigger it gets, the smaller it becomes… What does that even mean? you might wonder.

“Getting bigger” and “getting smaller” are opposites, and something that gets bigger doesn’t become smaller.

What we need to consider when solving this riddle is how to interpret “bigger.” In this puzzle, “bigger” means “growing.” When you grow, isn’t there something that becomes smaller? You probably experience it often when the seasons change.

The answer is clothes! As your body grows and gets bigger, the clothes you wore last year become too small and no longer fit.

What animal is bigger than a whale but smaller than a killifish?

What animal is bigger than a whale but smaller than a killifish?
See the answer

dolphin

To say that there’s no animal bigger than a whale and smaller than a killifish, we use a pun: we say “iruka” (which means dolphin) as a play on words with “inai” (there isn’t). The trick is to change the intonation when you say the comeback line, like “Sonna no iruka!” (which can sound like “Is that a dolphin?” or “Who would buy that?” depending on intonation). The correct answer is “iruka” (dolphin).

The grandson played with a ball with his grandpa. What did they do?

The grandson played with a ball with his grandpa. What did they do?

The key to solving this puzzle is to think of a different way to say “ojīchan” (grandpa).

So, what word could you replace “ojīchan” with? If something immediately comes to mind, try connecting that word to a scene where he’s playing with his grandchild using a ball.

If you do that, the answer should naturally reveal itself.

If you know lots of ball games, you might also try thinking from the types of ball games.

The answer is a fairly mainstream ball sport, so you might have an “aha!” moment that leads you to the correct answer.
