A trick quiz that stumps adults

We’re introducing trick questions that are simple yet puzzling—riddles that can stump adults.
Elementary school kids learn math problems, right? The questions here are very simple.
However, these are trick questions.
Quizzes that seem straightforward can actually be tough; you end up overinterpreting, overthinking, and getting bogged down in too much information.
The key is to answer simply without taking too much time.
Set a time limit and have fun while giving hints along the way.
A quiz that trips up 99% of people
Quizzes that 99% of people get tripped up by are designed to test your thinking skills and concentration.
Try solving the carefully crafted questions by thinking them through.
You won’t get them just by looking—read carefully, think, and be careful not to fall for the traps.
It’s also a good idea to set a time limit when the questions are presented, or discuss them in a group to come up with answers.
Sometimes the obvious answer turns out to be a trick, so approach them carefully.
A quiz that 99% of people get caught by
It’s hard to arrive at the answer! Here are some ideas for quizzes that trick 99% of people.
These are riddles that most people get caught by, and to find the answer, it’s important to approach them with flexible thinking.
Try looking at them from different angles with your friends and family.
For example, there’s a question like: “You picked up a wallet someone dropped.
What should you do with the wallet you picked up?” Try thinking with an open mind!
Witty riddles
The word tonchi, which we usually use to mean clever wit or a witty retort, is said by one theory to come from the onomatopoeic sound tonchinkan, the clang made when a swordsmith hammers a blade.
But there are various theories, and nothing is certain.
“Tonchi” is a curious word, isn’t it? Riddles that play on tonchi are a fun way to pass the time, too.
For example, here’s a question: “What do you buy in order to keep?” The hint is that the question is written in hiragana.
The answer is a pet—because in Japanese it’s ‘kau tame ni kau’ (buy in order to keep/raise).
The trick to getting the right answer is to look at words from different angles!
Riddles: 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!
10 Quick-Judgment Quiz Questions
Let’s think carefully and answer! Here are 10 ideas for hasty-judgment quizzes.
“Hasty judgment” refers to making a decision too quickly and getting it wrong.
Sometimes we jump to a conclusion even though we don’t fully understand everything yet.
That’s when it’s called a hasty judgment, so it’s good to develop the habit of listening to the end and thinking things through.
Hasty-judgment quizzes include questions like: “What happens if you put fire to a factory?”
