Do you get tripped up too? A collection of fun 10-time quiz questions (11–20)
Which tool is used to measure angles?
This is a question that might make you answer “compass,” since the repeated word “campus” sounds similar and a compass is a familiar tool.
However, a compass is a tool for drawing circles or a magnetic compass for directions, so the correct tool for measuring angles is a protractor.
Since it’s a tool used only in limited situations even in school classes, some people may have forgotten the name “protractor.” The fact that protractors and compasses were often used together may also be a factor that makes this question tricky.
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.
Manager/What is the thing at the very top of the house?
It’s a question that makes you want to answer “ceiling” because of the phrasing—something higher than your own place in the house and the ring of the word “manager (tenchō),” but “ceiling” is incorrect.
It’s not asking about what’s above you indoors, but what’s above the entire house, so the correct answer is “roof.” If you overemphasize the phrase “the number one” in the question, it may draw attention to the whole house, so try to gloss over that part and pronounce it lightly.
It may be important to guide the listener to imagine the interior of a house rather than the whole structure.
Kentucky / What appliance do you use to dry laundry?
This is a question about home appliances related to laundry.
Because of the sound of the word “Kentucky” that came right before, you might be tempted to answer “washing machine.” But that would be wrong—the question asks for something that dries laundry, so “dryer” is the correct answer.
Since many washing machines now have a drying function, there may be people who aren’t familiar with standalone dryers.
For those people, this question might be especially tricky.
The word “dry” is clearly included in the question, so the key point is how to phrase things in a way that distracts attention from that clue.
Shisa / What is the playground equipment that moves back and forth?
The guardian deities of Okinawa are called shisa.
Have someone repeat that name ten times.
Then ask, “What playground equipment moves back and forth?” They’ll probably answer “seesaw.” But if you think about it, a seesaw moves up and down.
So “seesaw” is incorrect.
The correct answer is “swing.” Because “shisa” and “seesaw” differ by only one sound, people tend to associate them and give that answer.
By the way, spring riders could also be considered playground equipment that moves back and forth.
What do you call flower fortune-telling / looking at the starry sky?
First, you have someone say “hana-uranai” (flower fortune-telling) ten times.
Then you ask the question, “What do you call looking at the starry sky?” The correct answer is “astronomical observation,” but this quiz is designed so people mistakenly answer “horoscope” (hoshi-uranai).
It’s common for humans to say something similar to what they’ve been repeating, and it’s pretty funny.
On the other hand, if you’re too wary of getting tricked, you might overthink it and end up with the wrong answer.
The key is to stay calm and answer without overthinking.

Comb/Milking creature?
From the word “milking,” you might associate milk and be tempted to answer “cow” because it sounds similar in Japanese, but that would be incorrect—the correct answer here is “human.” Cows provide the milk and are the ones being milked, so milking is performed by humans.
Since making people think the answer is an animal is key, it might also be good to try other words like “samurai” or “insect.” If you clearly picture the act of milking, you’ll likely arrive at the right answer, so let’s aim for a quick response.
