Riddles offer that perfect combination of making your brain work while also being a source of deep amusement. There are riddles for adults in just about every mood, interest, or setting. Take math riddles — suddenly a subject that can feel stressful to follow brings a bag of laughs. Try the question, “You have a basket that’s one foot in diameter and one foot deep. How many apples can you fit in the empty basket?” The answer: “Only one, because then it’s not empty anymore.”
Then there’s word riddles like, “What do the letter ‘t’ and an island have in common?” The answer: “They’re both in the middle of water.” Or there’s “What starts with a ‘p,’ ends with an ‘e’ and has thousands of letters?” The answer: “The post office.”
Riddles are also a great way to bond with your kids, thanks to lots of age appropriate riddles out there. There’s the classic one, “I sometimes run, but I cannot walk. What am I?” The answer: “Your nose.” They might also enjoy riddles like, “What’s bright orange with green on top and sounds like a parrot?” The answer: A carrot, of course.
So, the only question left is what riddle for kids and adults are you going to try first?
