Quiz and Riddle Popular Topics Ranking (11–20)
Who am I? quiz15rank/position
In the “Who am I?” quiz, you infer what something is from multiple clues.
For example, if the clue is “I have a red, square body and I always stand with my mouth open,” the answer would be “a mailbox.” You can create clues by personifying objects like this, or you can be direct, such as “a red, square box for putting letters in.” It’s recommended to adjust the difficulty of the clues to the participants’ ages, but make sure the answers are things everyone knows.

There are 200 fish. 99% are guppies. How many fish need to be removed to make 98% guppies?19rank/position
See the answer
100 animals
There are 200 fish in total. Of those, 99% are guppies, which means there are 198 guppies and 2 non-guppies. If you want to make the guppies 98%, you have to reduce the number of guppies. Since there are 2 non-guppies, if you reduce the guppies from 198 by 100, you’ll have 98 guppies and 2 other fish, making it 98%. Reduce by 100 just to lower it by 1%? It might be surprising, but that’s the interesting part of this problem.

Riddles for adults21rank/position
Despite there being simple answers, we end up overthinking and drifting away from them.
That can happen when adults tackle riddles.
Precisely because we have so much knowledge and experience, even if an answer pops into our head, we might think, “There’s no way it’s that simple.” The riddles here for adults also have straightforward solutions.
What matters is a flash of insight—rephrasing the wording of the question, inserting something between words and reading them together, and so on.
Hints are provided too, so be sure to give them a try.
