Difficult Riddle Quiz
Take your time and think it through before answering! Here are some ideas for challenging riddle quizzes.
These tough riddles are perfect for people who love playing with riddles or are bored with easy questions.
For example, there’s a question like: “You can see fish swimming at an aquarium.
Where can you see animals that are standing still?” Even if you’re worried you might not solve them, don’t worry—hints are provided so you can try with confidence.
Loosen up your thinking and give it a challenge!
Sounds simple but tricky! What are the ages of the five siblings?
It’s the kind of video I’d like to think about when I have plenty of time.
It’s a problem that’s hard to understand after just one listen, but if you take your time, you might manage to reach an answer.
You have to consider many different patterns and process them all in your head, so any elementary school student who can solve this problem is amazing.
Arunashi quiz
You’ll feel refreshed once you figure out the answer! Let me share some ideas for “Aru-Nashi” quizzes.
An “Aru-Nashi” quiz is one where you think of a common feature that items in the “Aru (has)” group share, which the items in the “Nashi (doesn’t have)” group don’t.
It nurtures your thinking skills, so it’s especially recommended for those who enjoy pondering carefully! For example, there are problems like: What do the items in “word, heart, grassland, simple, cost” have that the items in “letter, blood, lawn, easy, expense” don’t? You’ll feel a great sense of clarity when you reach the answer! Give it a try!
Puzzle: What word can be found by calculation?
Puzzle-solving games are fun, aren’t they? So let me introduce a math quiz with a strong puzzle-solving element.
You’ll be given several equations with answers, plus a fill-in-the-blank sentence.
First, solve the equations and draw lines connecting each equation to its answer.
Then, figure out the letters that go into the blanks.
The real twist of this problem is that solving the equations alone won’t give you the answer.
The hint lies in the shapes of the lines connecting the equations to the answers.
Look very closely—you’ll see a certain letter emerge.
Adults take on quizzes even elementary schoolers can solve!
This is a video where adults take on problems that even elementary school kids can understand.
The difficulty isn’t that high, so it seems like a good video to enjoy together with adults.
The questions are a bit tricky—like riddles or quizzes.
If you want to think of the answers yourself, try pausing the video and tackling each quiz.
Just relax and have fun with it.
Ultra-difficult Quiz
This is an extremely difficult quiz.
If you believe your child is a genius, please have them give it a try.
A truly gifted child might even enjoy tackling it on their own.
Perhaps it’s precisely because genius can’t be measured by common sense that we call it genius.
Is it solvable thanks to the flexible mind of an elementary schooler, or only by a true prodigy? It might be better not to know the answer to that.
Entrance exam questions of Nada Junior High School
This is a video of University of Tokyo students taking on problems used in entrance exams for highly competitive junior high schools.
If even UTokyo students—supposedly the brightest—find these junior high entrance exams difficult, then the elementary school kids who can solve them are truly super students.
How do they develop the brainpower to tackle such problems? It feels very mysterious.
It’s a video that really shows that sometimes elementary schoolers can be smarter than UTokyo students!
In conclusion
