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!

The word tonchi, which we usually use to mean clever wit or a witty retort, is said by one theory to come from the onomatopoeic sound tonchinkan, the clang made when a swordsmith hammers a blade.

But there are various theories, and nothing is certain.

“Tonchi” is a curious word, isn’t it? Riddles that play on tonchi are a fun way to pass the time, too.

For example, here’s a question: “What do you buy in order to keep?” The hint is that the question is written in hiragana.

The answer is a pet—because in Japanese it’s ‘kau tame ni kau’ (buy in order to keep/raise).

The trick to getting the right answer is to look at words from different angles!

There are moments in everyday life when wordplay just comes together, right? Like when you’re putting up posters in the classroom and someone says, “Too high, too high, lower,” and that makes you think of a pun like ‘Uesugi Kenshin’ (since ‘too high’ sounds like ‘Uesugi’).

Puns kind of feel similar to riddle-like brain teasers, don’t they? Here’s one: “It’s usually loud, but if you add one letter, it becomes quiet.

What is it?” The answer is ‘siren.’ Add a ‘t’ to the end and it becomes ‘silent,’ right? That rush you get when you solve a clever riddle is unbeatable!
