[For Seniors] A guaranteed crowd-pleaser: the Say-Anything Quiz. Brain-training questions that won’t be fooled by trick questions (1–10)
No matter what you are asked, answer “giraffe.”
- panda
- Lion
- Elephant
- sea lion
- What did you say first?
This puzzle tests your attention, memory, and the composure to avoid being tricked. At the start, you’re instructed to answer “giraffe” to anything you’re asked, so the rule is to reply “giraffe” to every prompt along the way, no matter what is said. However, there’s a trap at the end: you’re asked, “What did you say at the beginning?” Many people end up answering honestly, but in this case the correct response is still “giraffe.”
No matter what you’re asked, answer “local cuisine.”
- Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called 'Jingisukan')
- hitsumabushi (Nagoya-style grilled eel over rice, eaten in several stages)
- kiritanpo
- Senbei-jiru (rice cracker soup)
- Today, Saturday
Answer with “local cuisine” no matter what you’re asked. The first four words are all regional dishes from around Japan, but “today is Saturday” is a trick unrelated to local cuisine; if you change your answer there, you fail. Answering “local cuisine” in every case aligns with the intent.
No matter what you’re asked, answer “Triceratops.”
- Tyrannosaurus
- Pteranodon
- Spinosaurus
- Ausakasaurus
- chicken bone broth
The questions are being asked under a rule that no matter what you’re told, you must not answer with anything other than the word you initially chose, “Triceratops.” The final prompt, “chicken bone broth,” includes words that are easy to get tripped up by and may tempt you to give a different answer, but it’s important to respond calmly. By not being swayed by tricks or curveballs and sticking to the word you decided on at the start, you will be able to respond correctly.
No matter what you’re asked, answer “vegetables.”
- daikon radish
- carrot
- Chinese cabbage
- cabbage
- kind; gentle; tender
In this quiz, it’s important to faithfully follow the instruction to answer “vegetables” no matter what you’re asked. The final prompt, “kind,” is clearly not a vegetable, but it’s tempting to get tricked into answering “kind,” isn’t it? The challenge is to stay calm and not be swayed by the trick questions along the way.
No matter what you are asked, answer “washing machine.”
- wash
- to clean up
- detergent
- fabric softener
- Kentucky
No matter what you’re asked, the rule is to answer “washing machine.” Even after a series of washing machine–related words, when the trick “Kentucky” is thrown in, it’s important not to be swayed and to stick only to the word decided at the start. In this way, the point of this quiz is to stay unfazed by tricks or curveballs and to thoroughly follow the initial instruction.
No matter what you’re asked, answer “aphid.”
- pill bug
- beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)
- ladybug
- Paramecium
- Album
It’s important to follow the instruction to answer “aphid” no matter what you’re asked. Various insects and trick words will appear along the way, but the correct approach is to consistently repeat the first word you were told, in accordance with the rules. The key is not to be misled by the trick words.
No matter what you’re asked, answer with “rice.”
- Takikomi (Japanese seasoned mixed rice)
- mix
- seasoning packet (typically dried vegetables/meat in instant noodles)
- raw egg on rice
- curry
No matter what you’re asked, the rule is to keep answering “gohan” (rice), just as you decided at the start. Even if a trick like “himana tsuri” (idle fishing) comes up midway, don’t let it throw you off. When someone says “curry,” you may feel like replying “rice,” but you must still answer “gohan.” It’s a game to train your concentration and memory, so the key is whether you can keep saying “gohan” all the way to the end.
