Move 1 stick to make it correct! Matchstick quiz
This is a puzzle where you move a specified number of matchsticks arranged in a certain shape to complete a designated figure.
Creativity is important in deciding how to express things using only sticks—such as forming shapes or evoking three-dimensional images.
A classic variation is turning an incorrect equation into a correct one; in that case, pay attention to how moving matches changes the numbers.
Thinking boldly—like viewing the arrangement from the opposite direction, not just moving matches—might also be the key to finding the solution.
Kanji Combination Quiz
This is a workbook where you combine characters to figure out which kanji they form.
Even familiar kanji can be quite hard to recognize once their parts are separated.

Pattern Quiz
This is a set of problems where you deduce the pattern from a sequence of numbers and determine what goes in the ‘?’.
Although the numbers may seem randomly arranged at first glance, they are actually ordered according to a specific rule.
Take your time and look at them calmly.
Be careful not to overthink it and give yourself a headache.
