There’s a hint hidden in the words people say when a camera is pointed at them for a photo. It’s the problem where you end up making a smile at the cue of “Say cheese.” You can get the right answer by reading the question from a different angle instead of taking it at face value.

5 yen

If you read the problem statement as is, it’s a quiz that makes you want to answer that the eraser costs 10 yen. If the eraser costs 10 yen, then adding the 110 yen for the ballpoint pen gives 120 yen. Since we need prices that add up to 110 yen for the eraser and the ballpoint pen together, the correct answer is that the eraser costs 5 yen and the ballpoint pen costs 105 yen.

Because I walked the wrong way down a one-way street

A one-way sign applies only to vehicles. There’s no problem if a person walks in the opposite direction, right? The key is to approach it flexibly instead of assuming the truck driver drove the wrong way.

I bought some takeout sushi to bring home.

At sushi restaurants, they not only serve food to eat on the spot but also make sushi for takeout. Even if it looks like someone only had tea and left, the staff won’t be upset if that person bought sushi to take home. Many elementary school students today might arrive at this answer based on their own experiences using takeout or delivery services. This is a quiz where you can find the answer by carefully thinking through the situation, using familiar everyday scenes as hints.

did not progress

Combining pudding (purin), octopus (tako), and the word “out of order” (koshō-chū) gives you “printer out of order” (purinta koshō-chū). Since you need a printer to print advertisements, the task won’t go smoothly. The trick to solving the puzzle is noticing the pun-like word connections.
