Will you get tricked too? A roundup of fun 10-time quiz questions (21–30)
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.
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.
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.
Tokyo Coffee / What do you call skipping school?
The strange ring of the phrase “Tokyo coffee,” and then linking it to the act of skipping school, makes it a question that might tempt you to answer “school refusal.” However, “school refusal” is incorrect.
Since we aren’t asking about the specific reason for skipping school, the correct answer is “absence.” Because the repeated phrase is unfamiliar, getting the participant to pronounce it clearly can steer them toward the wrong answer.
Also, the fact that the correct answer is shorter than the phrases repeated up to that point is another factor that makes a quick response more difficult.
Ogre Island / Where did Urashima Taro go?
This is a question that makes you want to answer “Ogre Island” from the repeated word ‘oni’ (ogre) and the place the folktale’s hero went to.
But that would be incorrect, because it was Momotarō who went to Ogre Island; Urashima Tarō went to Ryūgū-jō, which is the correct answer.
The trick is to confuse Momotarō and Urashima Tarō to induce mistakes, so when presenting the question, it might be better not to stress “Urashima” too much in your pronunciation.
By making the participant clearly repeat ‘oni,’ you can keep their attention away from the actual protagonist.
