[Advanced] Difficult Riddles for Elementary School Students (41–50)
A riddle mainly written in hiragana

Once children start going to elementary school, their range of activities broadens compared to before, and all sorts of things begin to catch their eye.
They learn that a café is a place to drink coffee, that you can even buy a gravestone at a stone shop—things they didn’t understand before suddenly start to make sense, and I’m sure everything they see becomes fascinating and intriguing.
Learning words is just as much fun, so why not try some Hiragana riddles? They’re not only enjoyable but also help with Japanese language study—truly killing two birds with one stone.
Grown-ups, please join in the thinking, too!

I really enjoy quiz shows and often watch them on TV.
How about you? I’m always impressed by the knowledge and quick thinking of Ujihara from Rozan and Takuji Izawa.
But the one I think is the most amazing is Kazlaser.
He’s so funny and yet so quick-witted… I wonder if a comedian’s brain and quiz skills are connected somehow.
If it’s Kazu, he could probably breeze through even slightly tricky trick questions.
The classic trick question for elementary school kids, both then and now, is probably: “What kind of pan can’t you eat, even though it’s called ‘pan’?” Everyone, try quizzing each other with your best trick questions and enjoy your lunch break!
A quiz that 99% of people get caught by

It’s hard to arrive at the answer! Here are some ideas for quizzes that trick 99% of people.
These are riddles that most people get caught by, and to find the answer, it’s important to approach them with flexible thinking.
Try looking at them from different angles with your friends and family.
For example, there’s a question like: “You picked up a wallet someone dropped.
What should you do with the wallet you picked up?” Try thinking with an open mind!
Riddles: Advanced Level

The words “nazo-nazo” (riddles) and “quiz” are used with similar meanings.
I tend to think of quizzes as knowledge questions like “Who founded the Tokugawa shogunate?” and riddles as insight-based ones like “What’s something you can’t cut no matter how much you cut it?” How do you draw the line between them? When it comes to insight-based riddles—especially at an advanced level—the difficulty can be sky-high.
If you’re confident in your riddle-solving skills, give it a try! People who love books or newspapers and are strong with print might have an advantage… or maybe not—that’s what makes it fun!
10 Quick-Judgment Quiz Questions

Let’s think carefully and answer! Here are 10 ideas for hasty-judgment quizzes.
“Hasty judgment” refers to making a decision too quickly and getting it wrong.
Sometimes we jump to a conclusion even though we don’t fully understand everything yet.
That’s when it’s called a hasty judgment, so it’s good to develop the habit of listening to the end and thinking things through.
Hasty-judgment quizzes include questions like: “What happens if you put fire to a factory?”
