Will you get tricked too? A roundup of fun 10-time quiz questions (21–30)
What scary summer insect comes to mind—the one with horns growing from its head?
This is a question that makes you want to answer “stag beetle” because its name sounds closer to “scary,” and it’s an insect you see in summer.
However, “stag beetle” is incorrect—the correct answer is “rhinoceros beetle.” The two have different signature features: stag beetles have large pincers on their jaws, while rhinoceros beetles have a horn on their head, so make sure to divert attention away from that.
Since someone might figure it out if they think calmly, it may help to increase the number of repetitions to strongly evoke the image of a stag beetle, or have them answer quickly after the question is posed.
Squirrel and tiger / What do you call quitting a company?
This is a puzzle that uses often-confused Japanese words.
First, you have someone repeat “risu to tora” (squirrel and tiger), then you ask, “What do you call quitting a company?” They’ll likely answer “risutora.” However, “risutora” means the company dismisses employees, which is different from an employee quitting.
So the correct answer is “taishoku” (resignation).
The difference is whether you leave voluntarily or are made to leave.
By the way, “risutora” is short for restructuring.
Shogi / What is something that draws straight lines?
First, have them say “shogi” ten times, then ask the quiz question: “What do you use to draw a straight line?” The correct answers are “pencil” or “pen,” but this quiz aims to make people mistakenly answer “ruler.” Since people familiar with this kind of quiz might try to avoid giving a similar-sounding answer, it could also work to ask, “What tool do you use to draw a straight line?” Mixing in a few questions that are likely to trip people up sounds fun, too.
Takoyaki/Who grilled the sea bream?
It’s a question designed to make you blurt out “taiyaki” because of the rhythm of the word “takoyaki” and the similar-sounding phrase about grilling sea bream.
But that would be wrong, since taiyaki is a sweet shaped like a sea bream.
Because the item in question is a fish that’s been grilled, the correct answer is “grilled fish” or specifically “grilled sea bream.” The rhythm of “takoyaki” prompts the mistaken answer “taiyaki,” so have people answer as quickly as possible after repeating the word.
If you think calmly, it’s easy to realize taiyaki doesn’t actually contain sea bream, so emphasizing speed is recommended.
Tuna/Tara-chan’s older brother?
This is a question that might make you answer “Katsuo,” since the characters in the anime Sazae-san have sea-related names and Katsuo (bonito) is a fish similar in image to tuna.
However, Katsuo is incorrect—the correct answer is “Tara-chan doesn’t have an older brother.” Katsuo is Sazae’s younger brother, and since Sazae is Tara-chan’s mother, Katsuo is Tara-chan’s uncle.
There may even be people who genuinely believe Katsuo is his older brother.
Framing it to prompt a quick response and making people assume the answer is a single word are tactics that make it easier to lead them into a mistake.
Dance / Where do we put away the futons?
It’s a question that might make you answer “tansu,” since it sounds close to “dance” and is a piece of furniture for storage.
However, a tansu is mainly for storing clothing, and the correct answer for where you store futons is “oshiire” (a built-in closet).
For people used to living with beds and closets, this might be a tricky question.
It’s a good idea to design the question so that they don’t realize you’re asking about a storage place and instead assume you’re asking about a piece of furniture.
It might also be important to ask the question in a room without an oshiire so they can’t find the answer by looking around.
Bracken—what do you put on it for oden?
It’s a question that makes you want to answer wasabi, since it repeats a word that sounds close to warabi and asks for a seasoning used in cooking.
However, what’s actually being asked is what you put on oden, so wasabi is incorrect—the correct answer is karashi (Japanese mustard).
Because wasabi and karashi are often thought of as a paired set in similar contexts, use the repetition up to that point to firmly guide the listener’s attention toward wasabi.
Interestingly, there are arranged recipes that deliberately use wasabi with oden, so this question could be a fun excuse to give that a try.
