15 Quizzes That 99% of People Get Tricked By
A quiz popular with both kids and adults! Here, we present IQ test-style quizzes said to stimulate the brain.
This set is “15 Tricky Questions That 99% of People Get Wrong.” If you want to test your flexibility, give it a try! There are also shape puzzles, so we recommend sketching them out on paper as you think.
Since shape problems can have multiple solutions, it’s fun for both children and adults to work on them together.
Reaching the correct answer as a group is part of the fun, too.
Hinamatsuri Quiz
If you look closely, aren’t the faces of the Hina dolls displayed for the Doll’s Festival a little scary? When I was a child, for some reason those dignified, demure expressions looked scary to me.
If there’s a Hina Matsuri event in your community, why not make a “Hina Matsuri Quiz” together and have some fun? I think it’s wonderful to learn about Japan’s annual traditions while creating your own original questions.
For example: Hina Matsuri is also called the “_____ no Sekku” — what fruit goes in the blank? Or, What is the special rice cake eaten during Hina Matsuri? Even the basic facts can be fun.
It might also be nice to enjoy it at a Hina Matsuri party with friends!
Mezamashi Puzzle-Solving
There’s a term, “morning activities,” and this puzzle is something I’d like you to try along those lines! It’s the kind of question that asks, “What number goes in the question mark?” and it’s fairly tough.
That makes it perfect for waking up a brain that’s probably still asleep.
If you crank your mental gears first thing in the morning, you might be in top form all day—or maybe not, depending on the person—but if you’ve never tried it, it could be worth a shot.
As they say, practice makes perfect, so it might be good to keep it up every morning for a while.
Give your brain a workout, and let’s do our best today too!
High-level riddle
The great thing about quizzes and riddles is that, compared to other recreational activities, they require no preparation.
Just by saying “What am I?” and posing a question, the atmosphere instantly lightens.
They’re easy to do, the more people there are, the more fun it gets, and I really want elementary school kids to enjoy more quizzes.
If you’re thinking, “I’m not satisfied with ordinary-level quizzes anymore!” then definitely try some high-level riddles! For example, “What’s something that has a price written on it but you can’t buy?” The answer is “a price tag.” Tricky questions like these can be real brain-twisters.
That said, no matter how hard the questions are, it’s not a good idea to only ask mean or unfair quizzes!
A puzzle quiz I’d like elementary school students to try
We’d like to introduce riddle quizzes that are perfect for elementary school students, where flexible thinking is the key.
Have them look at the illustrations and text, and think about what letters fit into the question mark.
Encourage them to observe what the illustrations and words represent.
The answer may come to them naturally.
If the answer is difficult, try offering simple hints to keep it fun and engaging.
Take on the quizzes while valuing children’s flexible, creative thinking!
