[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.
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.
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.
Kanji Quiz, Part 2

This time it’s not just arithmetic problems; it’s a Japanese language (kokugo) problem.
There are six questions in total.
As an adult, can you get them right? When you’re a child, if you’re interested, it seems like you can memorize as much as you want, so I think having a variety of experiences in childhood might be important.
As of 2018, AI hasn’t yet permeated society, but what will society be like from here on?
Logic puzzles and math quizzes for the Arithmetic (Math) Olympiad

For elementary school students who are good at arithmetic, here’s a problem for you.
Since you can easily watch challenging problems like this in video form, children might get smarter and smarter.
Because there are similar patterns of solutions and ways of developing the logic, I think that by solving these kinds of problems repeatedly, they will keep getting wiser.
It’s the kind of problem that even adults might not understand.
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.
An elementary school problem that’s too difficult even for adults

Here’s a quirky, absurdly difficult quiz.
It’s a video compiling funny exchanges between teachers and elementary school students who give amusing answers, as well as bizarre questions whose answers are practically impossible to figure out.
These aren’t just tough for kids—adults would have a hard time answering them too.
Take a break and enjoy this video.
It’s a lot of fun.
Math quiz from La Salle Junior High School’s past entrance exam questions

It’s said to be an entrance exam question from the famous La Salle Junior High School.
Nowadays, elementary and junior high school students can watch study materials like this in video form, so students who are motivated to learn will probably see their abilities improve significantly.
Students who are good at math, in particular, may see their skills grow dramatically.
This video doesn’t just give the answer; it also explains the fundamentals, so it’s a very useful video.

This is an 80-question quiz on the readings of kanji with the “fish” radical.
Whether or not something like this is useful is another matter, but with a child’s flexible mind, I feel like they could memorize them after reviewing a few times.
It seems perfect for kids who love fish or want to become kanji experts.
It’s a video you can enjoy with parents and friends.
[Math Quiz] Using 4-minute and 7-minute hourglasses, measure 9 minutes.
![[Math Quiz] Using 4-minute and 7-minute hourglasses, measure 9 minutes.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/exODWA1SVKk/sddefault.jpg)
It’s a simple yet tricky puzzle: using a 4-minute and a 7-minute hourglass, measure 9 minutes.
If you just use the 4-minute and 7-minute hourglasses, a total of 11 minutes would pass.
So the key to this problem is how to measure 7 minutes.
For those who are having trouble finding the answer, here’s a hint.
If you flip both the 4-minute and 7-minute hourglasses at the same time, the 4-minute hourglass will run out first.
At that point, the 7-minute hourglass will have 3 minutes’ worth of sand remaining.
