[Challenging and Fun!] Quizzes & Riddles for Adults (61–70)
A puzzle only the narrow-minded can’t solve!? An ultra-difficult riddle
There’s a gag by Taizo Harada of the comedy trio Neptune where he introduces himself with, “I hate crooked things; I’m Taizo Harada,” and gets a laugh.
In fact, Harada really does come off as a straight-arrow type, doesn’t he? Are you someone people call serious? There’s a kind of riddle that people like you find especially hard to solve.
They’re the kind often called trick questions or mean quizzes, but the feeling of refreshment when you learn the correct answer is better than you’d expect! It might be fun to make a fast-answer buzzer and compete with a few people to see who gets the most right.
Quizzes really are a wonderful thing!
A quiz where you guess the country from its capital
Large toy stores have sections dedicated to educational toys.
In the past, they were just a tiny, token presence, but lately they’ve come to occupy a sizable amount of floor space.
I guess that shows how enthusiastic people have become about education.
World maps you can stick up in the bath are now a classic staple.
So, to uphold our adult pride, let’s try a “guess the country from its capital” quiz.
In other words, if you hear Paris, you answer France.
If you have kids, it could be fun to challenge them to a match.
[Logic Quiz] Extremely Difficult! A Room with 23 Men and Chairs
![[Logic Quiz] Extremely Difficult! A Room with 23 Men and Chairs](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hx5q1y5UxXA/sddefault.jpg)
This is a puzzle about devising a strategy that allows all 23 men to escape, based on their actions when they are led into a room with a chair.
In the chair room, each person can choose either to rotate the chair by 90 degrees or to break the chair; if someone chooses to break the chair, everyone who has entered up to that point is allowed to escape.
The key is that they can confer beforehand, so the challenge is how to use the chair’s orientation to communicate that everyone has entered.
Let’s combine various patterns and possibilities—such as counting via orientation and cases where escape is not yet possible—to derive an appropriate method.
Guess the song from just the outro quiz
It’s an outro quiz that flips the concept of an intro quiz—where you guess the song title from the opening notes—and instead has you listen to the ending to figure out the title.
It tests how you engage with each track by seeing whether you listen all the way to the end.
On music shows, it’s standard to perform from the intro through the first chorus, and sometimes the ending is shortened or rearranged.
Knowing how a song wraps up could change the way you relate to it, making this a thought-provoking challenge.
10 Questions! Standard level for IQ 100!
I don’t want to do anything… I can’t think of anything… Here are 10 challenges to try when you’re feeling unmotivated.
Have fun while activating your brain and pep up that sluggish body! It’s a slightly surreal set of problems that’ll make you smirk a little every time you get one right.
The older you are, the harder it is to solve! What number fits?
Are you getting along well with children? The way you interact with a child can vary a lot depending on whether they’re five or fifteen.
Some people lift a child up to show them the world from an adult’s viewpoint; others crouch down to meet them at eye level.
There are many ways to raise and engage with kids.
One thing that can be said about quizzes, though, is that sometimes being a child can be an advantage.
If you cling to adult preconceptions, you might miss problems you could otherwise solve.
It only takes a moment to try—give it a quick check!
