No matter how many times you call it, it never answers—what is it?
If you call your dad or mom, your teacher or your friends, they all answer you, right? But in this world, there are things that won’t respond no matter how much you call them… What are they? The answer is something you all know well.
The key to solving this riddle is to focus on the hiragana word yondemo.
First, try converting it to kanji.
If you try different options like 呼んでも (even if you call) and 読んでも (even if you read), you’ll arrive at the answer.
By the way, the correct answer is “a book.”
What is something that won’t break no matter how much you try to break it?
Have you ever had the experience of dropping something and breaking it? As the saying goes, “Anything with form will eventually break,” and glass or pottery will most likely shatter if you drop it.
But there are things in this world that don’t break even when you split them! In fact, they aren’t objects.
If you’re an elementary school student, isn’t there something you split during class? With that hint, you’ve probably figured it out.
The answer is “division.”
What is a ball that’s square, even though it’s still a ball?
Speaking of balls, they’re one of the tools used in ball sports, right? When you picture a ball, most of you probably imagine a round sphere.
However, since the question in this quiz says “square,” we need to look for a square ball.
Let’s forget about balls used in sports for a moment and think of something square that includes the word “ball” (booru) in Japanese.
If you’re an elementary school student, you’ve probably seen it at home or used it for crafts.
The correct answer is “danbooru” (cardboard).
What kind of neck comes out of a mouth?
A neck coming out of your mouth…
It sounds a bit scary if you imagine it, but don’t worry—it’s just a riddle, not a scary story.
With that in mind, let’s solve it! The key to this puzzle is to convert the keyword “首” (kubi, neck) into hiragana and think of it that way.
Then, associate things that include “kubi” which come out of the mouth.
Everyone has put this out of their mouth at least once.
It’s an easy answer, so if you get the hint, you’ll solve it right away.
The answer is “akubi” (a yawn)!
What kind of shell becomes scary when even 10 small ones gather together?
It’s a riddle that calls to mind Swimmy, the story where many small fish band together to drive away a big fish.
A shellfish that becomes scary when even ten of them gather… What do you imagine? This riddle doesn’t require much knowledge; it tests your flashes of insight, imagination, and point of view.
First, read the question carefully.
Then, rewrite the key words “shellfish” (kai) and “ten” (juu) into hiragana.
When you line them up, the name of a frightening creature should appear.
The answer is “kaijuu” (monster).
