A riddle that’s hard for adults

Adults have a certain amount of knowledge and experience, so I think they try to look for quiz answers in those mental drawers.

By the way, what color do you think December is?

We’re often amazed by children’s imagination and mental flexibility, aren’t we? Sometimes a summer vacation project becomes a potential patent, or a product made in an elementary school club ends up being commercialized by a major company—it really reminds you how incredible kids are.

On the flip side, there’s the “rigidity” of adult thinking, and as an adult myself, that really hits home…

So I’m taking on a quiz said to be unsolvable for people with rigid minds.

The key to finding the answer is not to grapple head-on, but to keep changing your perspective as you tackle the quiz!
