I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

The quiz will be updated daily, so use it as a reference and enjoy tackling it together with seniors!

[For seniors] Today’s recommended quiz. Daily brain-training quizzes! (11–20)

The 22nd of every month is said to be a certain confectionery’s day. What is that popular sweet?

There are countless sweets around the world, and many commemorative days have been established to celebrate their origins and histories.

Among the various sweets-related anniversaries, which sweet has a commemorative day on the 22nd of every month? There’s a wordplay element involved, but the clever part is that it doesn’t rely on a pun on “22.” The big hint is to look at a calendar.

The answer is shortcake: on a calendar, the 15th always appears directly above the 22nd, and since the number 15 can be read as “ichigo” (strawberry) in Japanese, it suggests “a day with a strawberry on top”—hence, Shortcake Day.

shokupan (Japanese milk bread / sandwich loaf)

The correct answer was shokupan (Japanese milk bread)! It’s eaten in a variety of situations like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Since we usually recognize it as “shokupan,” seeing it written only in hiragana—and even scrambled—can be confusing, right?

Napping helps rest the brain, recover from fatigue, and improve concentration. However, be careful: if you sleep for more than 30 minutes, you may fall into a deep sleep and disrupt your internal rhythm. A nap of about 15 to 20 minutes is considered ideal.
