Riddles for junior high school students (31–40)
Among kindergarteners, elementary school students, and adults, which is the biggest?
See the answer
kindergarten
A kindergarten isn’t a person; it’s the name of a building. Elementary school students and adults are people, but a kindergarten is a large building that many people can enter. So if you compare sizes, the kindergarten is the biggest. The key to this riddle is noticing the meanings of the words.
A brain-teasing problem
There are many problems that can be thought about from multiple angles, with puns or clever wordplay.
For example, the question “Among the numbers 1 to 13, which number is a place where you can’t park a car?” had an answer that made me nod in agreement when I saw it.
It struck me as the kind of joke a rakugo storyteller might tell.
Do you know the answer?
Take on a tricky quiz
This is a really mean-spirited quiz.
Rather than figuring out a legitimate answer, it feels more like you’re supposed to explore possibilities and pick something that fits.
Looking at the answers, there are many that make you want to say, rather than “I see,” “Is that even allowed?” How would junior high school students handle it?
Once you solve it, it makes sense.
I was a bit moved by the answer to the riddle in this video that says, “It’s mine, yet other people use it more.” There are many riddles where the answers make perfect sense once you see them, so it’s a fun quiz to watch.
There are also many riddles that make you want to try them on other people.
A difficult but interesting riddle!
It’s certainly a very difficult quiz.
Part of the challenge is shifting your perspective, but having a bit of knowledge also helps.
For those who are bored with typical riddles and quizzes, this one is highly recommended.
Questions like “Is the person between 1 and 4 a man or a woman?” are the kind that make you go “Aha!” once you know the answer.
Can you solve this?
Actually, this video presents entrance exam questions from a highly competitive elementary school.
Since they’re elementary school exam questions, they can be solved by elementary students.
However, ordinary children and adults whose thinking has become rigid may find them quite challenging.
In that sense, wouldn’t they be perfect for middle schoolers, whose minds aren’t fully set in their ways yet?
Genius if you can do it all?!
This is a classic matchstick quiz.
By the time you’re in middle school, you probably enjoy puzzle-style quizzes like this, and from those typical matchstick puzzles, I’ve picked one that’s simple yet tricky.
Give it a try.
Kanji Quiz to Train Your Creativity
This video’s quiz includes problems that even adults will have to think about, such as combining scattered radicals and components to form compound characters, or identifying a four-character idiom when only about a third of it is visible.
In fact, a middle school student currently studying kanji might be able to solve them faster.
34 Riddles in a Row
This video introduces as many as 34 riddles that anyone can enjoy.
Many of the riddles are fun for both adults and children.
“What kind of party leaves you tired after attending?” Questions like this aren’t too hard for adults, but kids might not come up with the answer right away.
Find the differences!
The puzzles in this video are mainly spot-the-difference, but instead of the usual standard pictures, you also have to pay attention to the orientation of symbols and patterns, or you won’t notice what’s different.
It makes you want to move your eyes in all directions.
It’s very difficult and requires concentration.
It also seems like good exercise for your eyes, so be sure to give it a try.
