[For Seniors] Get Excited by Knowing the Answer! Tricky Quiz (11–20)

Sachiko received strawberries, apples, and pineapple from her friends. Which fruit did she eat first?

See the answer

Apple

Strawberries and pineapples are actually classified as vegetables. Still, since they’re displayed in the same section at supermarkets, it feels a bit odd, doesn’t it? According to Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, herbaceous plants that can be harvested within a year of planting are classified as “vegetables.” Herbaceous plants cultivated for two years or more, as well as woody plants whose fruits are eaten, are classified as “fruit trees.”

A wordplay lettering using “ka,” “n,” and “mai”

Let’s try a riddle that feels satisfying once you get the answer.

Here’s a wordplay puzzle using “ka,” “n,” and “mai.” The letters “mai” are arranged vertically three times between “ka” and “n.” The hints are that it’s a type of greeting card and that there are three “mai” inside “ka” and “n.” The answer is “kanchū mimai” (a midwinter greeting card).

The key is reading the three “mai” as “mimai.” Once you reach the answer, the confusion clears up nicely!
