A lateral thinking puzzle where you get deceived before you know it
Sometimes we drift away from the answer without realizing it because of our assumptions.
In this lateral thinking puzzle, the key points are the ability to view things objectively and flashes of insight.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find yourself solving one after another with an “Ah, so that’s how it is,” which broadens your perspective and serves as a great exercise to loosen up a rigid mind.
A tricky question that always trips you up
It’s a trendy trick quiz.
Various questions will come up, and you might think, “So what?” “Isn’t that strange?” or “Excuse me?” but let’s keep an open mind.
Some questions really catch you out, while others may not be convincing, but that’s part of what makes trick quizzes fun.
What part of speech is “strawberry”?
If you’re asked what language “strawberry” is, you’d naturally say English.
But this is a trick question! The answer isn’t English.
So what is it? To solve it, you need to realize it’s a trick and notice that the “go” in “nani go” (“what language”) is written in hiragana, not the kanji for “language.” And what does “strawberry” actually refer to in the first place? Once you see that, you’ll reach the answer! It’s a question that tends to be swayed by your knowledge, but a child might answer it in an instant.
What is something that doesn’t decrease no matter what you eat?
What is something that doesn’t get smaller no matter what you eat? Right now, all sorts of foods are probably popping into your mind: rice balls, sandwiches, apples, tangerines, sweets… There are so many edible things, but once you eat them, they’re gone, right? In other words, if you focus on the food when thinking about this question, you won’t get the right answer.
It’s a trick question, so you need to look at it from a slightly different angle.
The correct answer is “your mouth.” It certainly eats anything, but it’s the food that diminishes—the mouth doesn’t get smaller!
A trick quiz at an elementary school level
We’re introducing trick questions at an elementary school level that make you go “Ah, I get it!” when you think them through.
Elementary school kids have flexible minds and genuinely enjoy quizzes, right? Sometimes, when a slightly tricky or trick question comes up, they get super excited and shout out the answer to teach everyone.
These quizzes have simple prompts—let’s try to find the answers.
If you think carefully, the answer might come to you intuitively in a flash.
If you can’t figure it out, asking for a simple hint is also recommended.
Mean Riddles

♪ Original song – Yuko, mother of two – Yuko, mother of two
Let’s answer without being tricked by the bait! Here are some ideas for sneaky riddles.
With sneaky riddles, there’s often a trap hidden in the wording of the question.
Listen carefully to the question and think it through to figure out the answer! For example, a question might be: “No matter how level it is, what is higher on the right and lower on the left?” Once you know the correct answer, it’s the kind of riddle that makes you go, “I see!” or “So that’s how it is!”
Super annoying! 15 trick questions
These are infuriating questions that look like ordinary prompts but hide trick elements.
It’s crucial to notice the oddities in the wording—pause to think about the things that appear and the order of the words.
Some problems even have extremely unconventional correct answers, so rather than just trying to find “the” answer, it may be more important to consider from what angles you should be skeptical.
Because these questions feel malicious, as if they’re trying to deceive you, I recommend avoiding a straightforward approach to the answers.
A super-tricky, ultra-difficult quiz that 99% of people get wrong
This is a type of problem where what matters most is whether you can clearly picture the situation and notice the answer—the flexibility of your thinking is crucial.
It may help to visualize everyday contexts and the surroundings of the characters in the problem as you search for the answer.
The problem statement often hides words that broaden your thinking or can be rephrased, so it’s also important to examine the text and notice any sense of incongruity.
If you read the problem at face value, there’s a high chance you’ll be guided to the wrong answer, so pause and carefully work through the statement.
A trick quiz you’re guaranteed to get wrong.
It’s a problem where the more seriously you think about it, the more likely you are to get it wrong—sometimes to the point of feeling frustrated.
A key point is that if you think about it straightforwardly, you’ll make a mistake; use that common mistake pattern as a hint to work toward the answer.
People with flexible thinking might reach the real answer from the start without realizing they’ve been misled, so in that case it’s also helpful to consider the trap patterns alongside.
Rather than taking the problem at face value, vividly picturing the scene is important for arriving at the correct answer.
