5 slightly tricky trick riddle questions in total

Five in total! Here are some ideas for slightly tricky trick riddle questions.

When there’s a time limit set for riddles, it adds that heart-pounding thrill, doesn’t it? This time, let’s take on trick riddles with a 10-second time limit for each question.

Riddles: Advanced Level

Riddle Advanced Level

The words “nazo-nazo” (riddles) and “quiz” are used with similar meanings.

I tend to think of quizzes as knowledge questions like “Who founded the Tokugawa shogunate?” and riddles as insight-based ones like “What’s something you can’t cut no matter how much you cut it?” How do you draw the line between them? When it comes to insight-based riddles—especially at an advanced level—the difficulty can be sky-high.

If you’re confident in your riddle-solving skills, give it a try! People who love books or newspapers and are strong with print might have an advantage… or maybe not—that’s what makes it fun!

Ultra-difficult trick quiz

[Super Hard] Let's think together! Take on a series of tricky, mind-bending quizzes!

Are you bad at trick questions? I couldn’t even get the classic one—“Which is heavier, 1 kg of iron or 1 kg of cotton?”—I just kept groaning and never reached the right answer.

I’m the type who overthinks and self-destructs, assuming there must be some hidden twist just because it’s presented as a question.

I can’t handle normal trick questions, so if they’re labeled “super hard,” then… As for those tougher trick questions, the rising YouTuber Chonmage Kozou—who suddenly appeared with the greeting “Hikiniku desu!”—is enjoying them too.

Elementary schoolers who don’t have much time, give them a try!

Easy brain training

[Brain Training] Can Anyone Solve These? 10 Brain Teasers

Questions like “Which character can you write in kanji but can’t read?” really make you think, don’t they? Riddles seem simple, but there’s that moment of “Huh?”—and that’s the fun of them.

It’s okay if you don’t reach the answer.

The act of thinking itself is great brain training! It might be fun to enjoy them with friends during break time or after school, too.

If you ask, “Can you figure this out?” you’ll probably spend more time puzzling together.

You’ll train your brain and deepen your friendships at the same time.

What is something that won’t break no matter how much you try to break it?

Have you ever had the experience of dropping something and breaking it? As the saying goes, “Anything with form will eventually break,” and glass or pottery will most likely shatter if you drop it.

But there are things in this world that don’t break even when you split them! In fact, they aren’t objects.

If you’re an elementary school student, isn’t there something you split during class? With that hint, you’ve probably figured it out.

The answer is “division.”
