Riddles: Advanced Level
The words “nazo-nazo” (riddles) and “quiz” are used with similar meanings.
I tend to think of quizzes as knowledge questions like “Who founded the Tokugawa shogunate?” and riddles as insight-based ones like “What’s something you can’t cut no matter how much you cut it?” How do you draw the line between them? When it comes to insight-based riddles—especially at an advanced level—the difficulty can be sky-high.
If you’re confident in your riddle-solving skills, give it a try! People who love books or newspapers and are strong with print might have an advantage… or maybe not—that’s what makes it fun!
