Satisfyingly Tricky: Challenging Quizzes for Elementary School Students! (1–10)
A problem that children can solve quickly but adults are likely to get wrong
This video is a collection of high-difficulty 10-times quiz questions.
They’re the kind of problems that will trip you up unless you stop and think a bit.
These are guaranteed to be a hit with elementary school kids.
I love this kind of question myself.
I wonder how many types of 10-times quizzes there are—maybe even infinitely many.
This video made me want a book that compiles 10-times quizzes.
Rule-based puzzle
I think many elementary school students love solving quizzes, but if you’re going to tackle quizzes, choosing slightly more difficult ones is recommended because they stimulate the brain more.
The problems in this video are quizzes where you infer a pattern based on hints.
By relying on limited information and figuring out what the table is trying to represent, the answers will naturally become clear.
Also, with this type of quiz, the more you solve, the easier it becomes to find the underlying rules, so I recommend doing a lot of them.
Three maze problems in total
This is a maze-solving type of puzzle.
Once you cross a bridge, it breaks, but you’re allowed to pass through the same island as many times as you like.
Islands with only two bridges will lose both bridges just by passing through, so the key is to make good use of islands that have many bridges.
That said, there are also bridges you won’t use, so be careful.
It might be helpful to mark impossible paths with an X.
Trying to solve the problem from various angles seems like it could activate parts of your brain you don’t normally use.
[Satisfying When You Solve Them] Challenging Quiz Questions for Elementary School Students! (11–20)
A University of Tokyo quiz champion takes on the entrance exam questions of Kaisei Junior High School
It’s genuinely a tough set of problems.
They’re entrance exam questions from Kaisei Junior High School.
The tests include science, social studies, and math, and a University of Tokyo student is answering them while providing explanations.
It’s impressive how smoothly they can handle such tricky questions—no wonder they’re from Todai.
It makes me curious about what their everyday life is like.
Kanji Quiz Part 1
It was a Japanese language question, but maybe because I’ve had fewer chances to actually write kanji with a pen, I couldn’t answer it at all.
Do elementary school students answer questions like this smoothly? Thinking about that makes me really respect them, and it makes me feel that it’s wrong to dismiss them just because they’re children.
Precisely because we live in a digital society, it might become an era in which analog things like kanji become all the more important.
Elementary School Quiz
This seems to be a quiz video that was probably thought up by an actual elementary school student.
It even makes you think that the kids who create original questions like this might be the really smart ones.
Maybe the truly smart elementary schoolers aren’t solving problems in videos—they’re being YouTubers.
It’s fun to think about it with that kind of imagination.
10 tricky quiz questions that kids can solve but surprisingly many adults can’t
There are some problems that neither children nor adults can solve, but a quick-thinking child might find them easy.
Since these puzzles are enjoyable for everyone from kids to adults, you might even have fun competing against grown-ups.
