[For Seniors] Association Game with 3 Hints: A Satisfying List of Topics When You Get It

Feathers, wind, summer

The word “hane” (feather) brings to mind the image of a bird, and the word “kaze” (wind) further emphasizes that bird-like image.

How we interpret the word “natsu” (summer) is key to arriving at the answer: rather than picturing a bird you see in summer, you should clearly imagine something you use in summer.

It’s something that works in summer, with blades that rotate to send out wind—so the answer is “electric fan.” While bladeless fans do exist, let’s go with the general, common image here.

In Fukui Prefecture, numerous dinosaur fossils have been discovered, and with the recent opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, the museum has become a popular destination.

That ingredient that makes tears stream down when you cut it! Using the hints “brown and round, spicy when eaten raw, makes you cry when cut,” let’s figure out the answer.

One notable feature is that if you eat it raw without cooking, you’ll likely blurt out, “Spicy!” The correct answer is “onion”! Onions are delicious boiled or grilled and are a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes.

Almost everyone has experienced tearing up when cutting them.

Piece, match, check

Even though people say, “We’ll never see a greater genius than this,” we’ve seen one ‘king-like’ player after another dominate their era: Koji Tanigawa Meijin, Yoshiharu Habu Meijin, Akira Watanabe Meijin, and now Sota Fujii Meijin, who has become the face of the shogi world.

I can’t help getting excited wondering whether a player who will even threaten Sota Fujii Meijin might appear someday.

It’s a three-hint quiz, but if you play shogi, you can answer it easily, right? For those not familiar with shogi, it might be a bit tough.

It’s the kind of quiz that makes you want to sit down and play.
