Do you get tripped up too? A collection of fun 10-time quiz questions (11–20)
Prince/What do you do after shampooing?
This is a question that tempts you to answer “rinse,” because of shampoo-related words and the sound of the word “prince.” However, “rinse” is incorrect—the correct answer is “rinsing off the shampoo.” Use the repeated word to firmly evoke the image of “rinse” and distract attention from the action that comes in between.
If you deliberately explain that using rinse before rinsing off the shampoo will mix the two and cause trouble, it may heighten the frustration of those who get it wrong and make the question more exciting.
Doubanjiang / What number do you call for an ambulance?
First, have them say the name of the chili-based seasoning “doubanjiang” ten times.
Then ask, “What’s the number to call an ambulance?” Influenced by the sound of “toubanjan,” they’ll likely answer “110.” However, the actual number to call an ambulance is 119.
It’s true that “hyakutouban” (110) and “toubanjan” do sound somewhat similar.
By the way, there are cases where doubanjiang is pronounced “dōbanjan” as well.
If that happens, the quiz won’t work—so be careful.
Squid rings / What is the accessory worn around the neck?
First, have someone say “ika ring” (squid ring) ten times, and then ask them, “What’s the accessory you wear around your neck?” The correct answer is “necklace,” but after saying “ika ring” too many times, people tend to mistakenly answer “earring.” Some might even say “collar,” trying not to be fooled by the squid-ring association.
With this kind of quiz, it’s important to briefly wipe your mind clean of what you were just doing before the question is asked.
Punch/What do people always wear?
It’s a question that makes you want to answer “pants” because the word sounds similar to “punch” and it’s something you wear every day.
But that’s incorrect, since there are times when you take off pants; the correct answer is “breath.” Breath is essential for living, so it matches the idea of “always.” Also, the different kanji for “haku” in “to wear pants (haku)” and “to exhale breath (haku)” come with different intonations, so if you present the question in writing, use hiragana, and if you present it verbally, pay attention to pronunciation to deliberately guide people toward the wrong answer.
Bathing / What is the capital of the United States?
It’s a question that might make you want to answer “New York,” since the Japanese word for bathing (nyūyoku) sounds similar.
However, New York is incorrect—the capital of the United States is Washington.
Since New York is such a famous city in the U.S., some people might genuinely believe it’s the capital.
Choosing a city that’s more famous and larger than Washington is a tactic to lead people into making a mistake.
It’s the kind of question that could also help you learn about American cities.
