[Brain Training] Difficult Riddles That Even Adults Struggle With

Even though it was taken, everyone’s laughing. I wonder why.

I ended up fighting after my friend and I both tried to take it… It’s something every elementary schooler has probably experienced at least once.

Having something taken from you feels awful and makes you sad, right? So let’s try this puzzle.

Why is everyone smiling even though something was ‘taken’? The first thing to think about when solving this is the meaning of the word ‘taken’ (torareta).

It’s deliberately written in hiragana, so try converting it to kanji and imagining what situation it might describe.

The answer is: because it was a photograph.

It seems like a question that would trip up adults more than children.

When you read the problem statement, you instinctively want to treat it like an arithmetic problem and think, “5 – 1 = 4, so the answer is 4!” But remember, it’s a trick question.

The hint to solving it is that the candy wasn’t given to someone else, nor did it disappear.

If you think about how many candies you have after you lick one, you should arrive at the correct answer.

An elementary school student with a flexible mind might solve it right away!
