Last updated:

After being told, “Say ‘pizza’ ten times,” you do it—and then they point to your elbow and ask, “So what’s this?” You can’t help blurting out, “Knee!” Have you ever tried one of those ‘say it ten times’ quizzes? The word you repeat gets stuck in your head, and you end up falling for the trick question that follows so easily.

In this article, we’ll introduce some fun ‘say it ten times’ quiz questions.

Give them a try with your friends and family!

Do you fall for them too? A collection of fun 10-time quiz questions (1–10)

Kinkan / Who was the first president of the United States?

Mean trick quiz: Please say “kinkan” ten times. [10-times quiz]
Kinkan / Who was the first president of the United States?

This is a slightly tricky quiz that tests your knowledge of history.

First, have someone say “kinkan” ten times, then ask who the first president of the United States was.

They’ll likely answer “Lincoln.” However, Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president; the first president was George Washington.

This might be a good opportunity to learn more about American history.

By the way, you could create the same kind of trick using words like “inkan” (seal) or “intān” (intern) as well.

Give it a try if you like.

What comes after 10/90?

What comes after 10/90?

Here’s a “10-times quiz” that plays with numbers.

First, have them repeat “10” ten times, then ask, “What comes after 90?” They’ll likely answer “100,” but in fact the number after 90 is “91.” It’s quirky and funny that the repeated phrase in this 10-times quiz is “10.” You can also make it more fun by changing the numbers you use.

The key is to ask with the ambiguous phrasing, “What comes next?”

Mirin / An animal with a long nose?

Say 'Momotaro' ten times! I tried the ten-times game.
Mirin / An animal with a long nose?

This is a “say-it-10-times” quiz that plays on the similar sounds of mirin and kirin in Japanese.

First, have someone repeat “mirin” several times, then ask them to name an animal with a long nose.

They’ll be tempted to answer “giraffe” (kirin), but the correct answer is “elephant.” You can also switch it up by having them repeat “giraffe” and then ask a question where the correct answer is a condiment; there are many ways to enjoy this.

As an aside, other animals with long noses include the tapir and the proboscis monkey.

Strictly speaking, these would also be correct answers.

Chandelier / Who picked up the glass slipper?

Chandelier / Who picked up the glass slipper?

“Chandelier” and “Cinderella” sound similar in Japanese, don’t they? With that in mind, here’s a little puzzle I’d like to introduce.

First, have someone repeat “chandelier,” and then ask them the quiz question: “Who picked up the glass slipper?” Chances are they’ll immediately think of “Cinderella.” But if you carefully recall the story, it’s the prince who picks up the glass slipper, and Cinderella who drops it.

Anyone who gets this wrong can only groan in recognition.

How do you say “girly/pepper” in English?

How do you say “girly/pepper” in English?

This is a 10-times quiz using seasonings as the theme.

First, have the player repeat “girly” ten times.

“Girly” is a word that describes something like a young girl.

After they’ve said it ten times, ask the quiz question: “How do you say ‘koshou’ in English?” Many people will mistakenly answer “garlic.” But in fact, “koshou” in English is “pepper.” By the way, black pepper is “black pepper,” and the salt-and-pepper mix is “salt and pepper.” Using the 10-times quiz, it seems like you can learn English vocabulary in a fun way.
