[Riddle Quiz (Animals)] Educational & Brain Training — Simple and Hiragana-Focused for Toddlers! Great for Audio Listening ◎ [For Kids] Brain Workout

You probably think that all living creatures are either male or female.

But that’s not actually the case—there are animals called hermaphrodites that don’t have a distinction between male and female.

Cute snails, slightly icky? earthworms, and slugs are prime examples.

There really are all kinds of animals on Earth.

It could be fun to research your favorite animal and make riddles, then quiz each other.

If you like cats, make cat questions; if you have a dog, try dog questions.

It will surely help with your science studies, too.

Solve it in 5 seconds! 10 trick quizzes that most people jump to conclusions on [puzzle]

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?”

Aim for a perfect score! Here are some ideas for school-themed riddles.

These riddles are all about school! It sounds like it would be a lot of fun to tackle them with close friends or family.

For example, there’s a question like: “During Japanese class, what time do you have to write down and memorize?” It seems ghosts and yokai also make an appearance, so you can enjoy the thrills and excitement as you work through them.

Ten Times Quiz

Ask someone to say “pizza” ten times, then casually point to your elbow and ask, “What’s this?” They’ll answer “knee,” and that’s the classic ‘say it ten times’ quiz.

If you’re Japanese, you probably already know this one, but with new twists it’s still easy to get tripped up.

For example, have them say “dondon” ten times, then ask, “What’s the capital of France?” and they’ll say “London”—but the correct answer is Paris.

Or have them say “chandelier” ten times, then ask, “Who ate the apple?” and they’ll say “Cinderella,” when the answer is Snow White.

These ten-times quizzes really liven up break time!

I really enjoy quiz shows and often watch them on TV.

How about you? I’m always impressed by the knowledge and quick thinking of Ujihara from Rozan and Takuji Izawa.

But the one I think is the most amazing is Kazlaser.

He’s so funny and yet so quick-witted… I wonder if a comedian’s brain and quiz skills are connected somehow.

If it’s Kazu, he could probably breeze through even slightly tricky trick questions.

The classic trick question for elementary school kids, both then and now, is probably: “What kind of pan can’t you eat, even though it’s called ‘pan’?” Everyone, try quizzing each other with your best trick questions and enjoy your lunch break!

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!

If you know, please tell me! There are people who ask trick questions designed to annoy you—questions that make you want to say, “Ah, so that’s what you meant.” Maybe that kind of back-and-forth—like the classic “If you say this, I’ll say that”—can be fun if it’s between people who are really close.
