What kind of bird plays by getting tangled in string?
If a bird gets tangled in a string, you’d think it wouldn’t be able to spread its wings and fly, right? That would be true for an ordinary bird.
But there’s a bird that can still “fly” even when it’s tangled in string.
It’s not a bird soaring in the sky, but one that changes into various shapes in your hands.
To find the answer, try thinking of words that include “tori” (bird).
What words come to mind? Here’s a hint: it’s a game played with string.
Have you figured it out? The answer is ayatori (cat’s cradle).
What is something you use but cannot own?
Scissors, pencils, erasers, rulers… most tools you’re familiar with are basically things you hold in your hand to use, right? So let’s try a riddle: “What can be used but cannot be held?” You might think of various tools, but you won’t easily get the right answer if you only think in terms of “objects.” First, try considering things you can use that aren’t objects.
By the way, the answer is “your name.” You use it when introducing yourself or when you want friends to know about you, but you certainly can’t “hold” it.
What gets hotter as it gets colder?

This puzzle is tricky because there are many possible answers.
Things that get hotter as it gets colder… You might be thinking of hand warmers or clothing, but the correct answer is something else.
First, try picturing a winter scene.
List a few things you associate with it, and think about “getting hot” as the keyword.
Also pay close attention to the fact that it’s written in hiragana! The answer is something everyone knows, and you’re likely to see it at least once in summer.
Here’s a hint: it’s something that melts in heat.
What can go anywhere but doesn’t move?
Do many kids love traveling? Just going somewhere different from usual makes you feel excited, doesn’t it? So let’s try this riddle: “What can go anywhere but doesn’t move?” When you think of going anywhere, vehicles like cars, bicycles, and trains come to mind, but they all move, right? So those aren’t the answer.
If you think about something that makes you feel like you’ve gone somewhere without actually going, you might reach the answer.
The correct answer is “a map.” On a map, you can go to various countries, but the map itself doesn’t move.
Why are there sneakers whose laces never come undone no matter how much you run around?

Sneaker laces sometimes come undone while you’re wearing them, right? You can just retie them when they come loose, but if your hands are full, you end up walking with untied laces—your shoes feel like they’re about to slip off, and you might even trip over the laces.
A lot of people probably have those quietly annoying memories.
Here’s a quiz about lace-up sneakers! Sneakers whose laces never come undone no matter how much you run around… sounds like a dream product, doesn’t it? But in fact, kids are already wearing this dream-like item.
You might figure out the answer just by looking at your own sneakers!
There are 5 candies. If you lick one, how many are there?

It seems like a question that would trip up adults more than children.
When you read the problem statement, you instinctively want to treat it like an arithmetic problem and think, “5 – 1 = 4, so the answer is 4!” But remember, it’s a trick question.
The hint to solving it is that the candy wasn’t given to someone else, nor did it disappear.
If you think about how many candies you have after you lick one, you should arrive at the correct answer.
An elementary school student with a flexible mind might solve it right away!
When is honey sweet?

Honey is sweet and delicious, isn’t it? You can pour it on pancakes, add it to tea instead of sugar—there are countless dishes and products that use honey.
So let’s try a honey-themed trick quiz! When is honey sweet? “In the season when bees fly a lot?” “Does it have something to do with the number eight?” Many people might think that, but the answer is actually very simple! Just think: when do you feel it’s “sweet”? If you approach it that way, the correct answer should come to you easily!
Today is Monday. Tomorrow is Tuesday. What day is the day after tomorrow?

When trying to answer this question, wouldn’t most people say, “You’re supposed to answer Wednesday, but the trick is that the answer is Thursday!”? That’s what common sense suggests, right? In fact, if a small child answered that way, I’d be tempted to mark it correct—they’re being clever.
However, the answer is actually neither Wednesday nor Thursday.
The key to finding the answer is to focus on the word “asatte” in the problem statement.
Look closely: while “today” and “tomorrow” are written in kanji, “asatte” is written in hiragana… What does that imply?
