Riddles that trap you with blind spots and assumptions (1–10)
Among kindergarteners, elementary school students, and adults, which is the biggest?
See the answer
kindergarten
A kindergarten isn’t a person; it’s the name of a building. Elementary school students and adults are people, but a kindergarten is a large building that many people can go into. That’s why, in a size comparison, the kindergarten is the biggest. The key to this riddle is noticing the meanings of the words.
Alcohol and tobacco are from age 20. So, from what age can you drive a car?
See the answer
From age 0
You can obtain a driver's license—that is, legally drive a car—from the age of 18, but there is no age restriction on riding in a car.
I have a toothache, yet I’m going to an eye clinic. Why is that?
See the answer
Because (he/she/they) is an ophthalmologist.
Doctors and nurses who go to the hospital also commute to the hospital just like the patients do, right?
How many months in a year have 30 days?
See the answer
11
There are five months that have “up to” the 30th day: February, April, June, September, and November. However, since all months other than February have a 30th day (February has only up to the 28th or 29th), the answer is 11.
I turned the cup upside down, but the table isn’t wet. Why is that?
See the answer
Because the cup was empty.
If there’s nothing in the cup, it won’t get wet even if you turn it upside down.
An elderly person got on the train, but no one gave up their seat. Why is that?
See the answer
Because there was an empty seat.
We should give up our seats for the elderly and people with disabilities, but if there are plenty of empty seats, there’s no need to stand up and offer yours. However, if you’re sitting in a spot that’s easy for boarding or exiting, it would be kind to say, “Please, go ahead.”
The boy is grateful to the teacher who always points out only his faults. Why is that?
See the answer
Because (he/she) is a doctor at the hospital.
A doctor is still a doctor, but doctors at hospitals have the job of finding what’s wrong. It’s only natural to feel grateful when they find something, isn’t it?
