Riddles for 10 Year Olds
Ten year olds are too sharp for baby riddles, so these lean tricky. The set mixes classic riddles for kids with hard riddles with answers, trick questions, and a few logic traps that fool plenty of adults. Hints are there when you need them, and the score bar keeps everyone honest.
One word, two jobs: the trick behind most of these riddles
The move that shows up more often than any other on this page is one ordinary word doing two jobs. A building holds thousands of stories, a bank grows branches with no leaves, a band stretches across a room without playing a note. Ten year olds picture the thing the word usually names, then stall. The habit that breaks the block is small: say the key word twice in your head and give it a different job each time. Keys that make music are not keys that open doors.
Eight of the 78 cards run on a word that only sounds like another word, a bicycle that is two tired, a frog whose car got toad, a grape that lets out a little wine. Read those aloud, because ears catch what eyes skip past. Others work on spelling itself: drop the s from spear and a weapon becomes a fruit, reverse ton and it weighs nothing, count how often one letter turns up when you spell out month names.
Seven of the 78 cards score your choice, four multiple choice and three true or false, so read those twice before you pick. Two want a typed guess. The other sixty-nine, two emoji rebuses and a count-the-triangles drawing among them, hold their answer back until you tap the card. If the puns are the part your family argues over, the funny riddles for kids run on the same moves.
- Riddle 7: most people say the month of February. February is the only month that stops at 28, so it jumps to mind first. The card asks which month has 28 days, not which one has exactly 28, and a longer month still runs through its own 28th day on the way to the end.
- Riddle 25: most people say one apple left. Subtracting two from three feels like the whole job, so one is the answer most solvers give. The card asks how many you have, not how many stay behind, and the two you took away are now the two in your hands.
- Riddle 14: most people say four people fishing. Two fathers plus two sons reads as four separate people, which makes the third fish look like a mistake. The middle man counts twice, as his father's son and his son's father, so two fathers and two sons fit inside three people.
- Riddle 23: most people say officers who were off duty. Blaming the officers keeps the man inside his truck, and nothing on the card ever puts him behind the wheel. Truck driver is his job, not what he is doing, and walking the wrong way down a one way street breaks no traffic rule.
When a riddle hands you a word that could hold two jobs, test both meanings out loud before you name an answer.
-
1. I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a ghost
Need a hint?
Shout into a canyon and I answer back.
Show answer
An echo.
Solvers guess a ghost, but a ghost has no need of wind. Sound bouncing off canyon walls returns your voice, which explains both the talking and the listening.
-
2. Stand us up in a long winding line, then tip the first one over. We all fall down, one click at a time. What are we? Easy
Most people first say: a rack of bowling pins
Need a hint?
You spend an hour lining us up and three seconds knocking us down.
Show answer
Dominoes.
Pins also topple in a chain, but they sit packed in a triangle and need a thrown ball. The clue that decides it is the hand tipped curve of upright tiles.
-
3. What can travel around the world while staying in the same corner? Easy
Most people first say: a globe on a shelf
Need a hint?
It rides on an envelope.
Show answer
A stamp.
Travel and staying put sound contradictory until you notice the corner belongs to an envelope, not a room: glued to paper, the little square crosses oceans without shifting position.
-
4. I'm always in front of you but you can never see me. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: your own nose
Need a hint?
It hasn't happened yet.
Show answer
The future.
Your nose sits ahead of your face, yet you can glance down and spot it. Read ahead as time instead of space and what waits there stays permanently out of sight.
-
5. What breaks the moment you say its name? Medium
Most people first say: a promise
Need a hint?
Libraries are full of it.
Show answer
Silence.
A promise or an egg fits breaking but not naming. This puzzle loops back on itself: pronouncing the word makes noise, so the act of answering destroys the very thing asked about.
-
6. A man was outside in the rain without an umbrella or hat, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How? Easy
Most people first say: shelter under a tree
Need a hint?
Count his hairs.
Show answer
He was bald.
Most people invent shelter, a tree or a doorway, but the riddle never promised he had hair. Zero strands means zero wet strands, and the condition is satisfied by absence.
-
7. What month of the year has 28 days? Easy
Most people first say: the month of February
Need a hint?
Don't just think about February.
Show answer
All of them. Every month has at least 28 days.
February is the only month that stops there, so it jumps to mind first. Read the question as a floor rather than an exact total: each of the twelve contains a 28th day.
-
8. I have stripes like a zebra, but I lie flat on the street. Cars stop and wait while you walk across my back. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a zebra
Need a hint?
Look down when the walk signal turns green.
Show answer
A crosswalk.
The zebra guess collapses because traffic halts for this one and it never moves. Paint on asphalt, plus pedestrians treading over it, pins the answer to a marked crossing.
-
9. I'm taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case, and almost every student uses me. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a diamond
Need a hint?
You sharpen me before a test.
Show answer
Pencil lead (graphite).
Diamonds come from mines too, so lean on the third clue: schoolwork. Only a mined mineral sleeved inside wood and carried in every backpack fits all three hints at once.
-
10. You see me once in June, twice in November, and not at all in May. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a full moon
Need a hint?
Spell the months out.
Show answer
The letter E.
A moon turns up every month, so counting events in the sky gets you nowhere. Count characters inside the spelled month names instead: only one of them hits all three totals the card lists.
-
11. What has 13 hearts but no other organs? Medium
Most people first say: a box of valentines
Need a hint?
It also has 13 spades.
Show answer
A deck of cards.
Hearts here means the card suit, so a deck holds thirteen heart cards and no organs.
-
12. If you drop me, I'm sure to crack, but smile at me and I'll smile back. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a window
Need a hint?
You check me before school photos.
Show answer
A mirror.
Glass alone suggests a window, yet a window shows the yard beyond it. The second clue demands reflection, which narrows breakable glass to the silver-backed sort above a sink.
-
13. What runs all around a backyard but never moves? Easy
Most people first say: a garden hose
Need a hint?
It keeps the dog in.
Show answer
A fence.
Runs here has nothing to do with legs. It means to extend along a border, the way a hose might, so the giveaway is enclosing the whole yard while staying planted.
-
14. Two fathers and two sons go fishing. Each catches one fish, but only three fish are caught. How? Medium
Most people first say: four people fishing
Need a hint?
One person can be both a father and a son.
Show answer
They are a grandfather, a father, and a son. That's two fathers and two sons in three people.
Counting four separate bodies forces a fourth fish. Let one man hold two roles at once, son to the eldest and father to the youngest, and the totals line up neatly.
-
15. What can fill an entire room without taking up any space? Medium
Most people first say: the surrounding air
Need a hint?
Flip a switch.
Show answer
Light.
Air is the reflex answer, but air is matter and occupies volume. Something with no mass at all, arriving the instant a switch flips, satisfies both halves of the demand.
-
16. Forward I'm heavy, backward I'm not. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a loaded truck
Need a hint?
It's a word puzzle. Try reversing letters.
Show answer
The word ton. Backward it spells not.
Hunting for an object wastes time. Read the puzzle as spelling: three letters reversed flip meaning from weight to negation, the same trick behind pairs like dog and god.
-
17. What belongs to you but is used by everyone else more than by you? Medium
Most people first say: your phone
Need a hint?
Your teacher says it every morning.
Show answer
Your name.
People first offer a phone or a bike, things you lend now and then. Swap borrowing for speaking: strangers, teachers and friends pronounce your label thousands of times while you rarely do.
-
18. A girl fell off a 20-foot ladder but wasn't hurt at all. Why not? Easy
Most people first say: a pile of hay
Need a hint?
The riddle never said how high she climbed.
Show answer
She fell off the bottom rung.
Twenty feet is bait; the riddle never says how high she climbed. Instead of inventing a soft landing, question the height, and the fall shrinks to one step above the ground.
-
19. I can grab things without any fingers, but only if they are made of the right metal. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a crane claw
Need a hint?
I hold your drawings up on the fridge.
Show answer
A magnet.
A crane claw would lift anything, wood included. The restriction to iron and steel points at invisible pull rather than gripping, which is why paper clips jump and pennies ignore it.
-
20. I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest kid can't hold me for five minutes. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a balloon
Need a hint?
Try holding it and watch the clock.
Show answer
Your breath.
Hold changes sense halfway through. It is not about grip strength, so a balloon fails; it means keeping air in your lungs, and lungs give out long before arms do.
-
21. Take away my first letter and I change from a weapon into a fruit. What word am I? Easy
Most people first say: the word sword
Need a hint?
The weapon is long and pointy. The fruit is green and sweet.
Show answer
Spear. Drop the s and you get pear.
Sword tempts you because dropping its S leaves word, but word is no fruit. Test each weapon until the leftover letters name something edible, and a long pointed one works.
-
22. Where does today come before yesterday? Medium
Most people first say: a calendar page
Need a hint?
Think alphabetical order, not time.
Show answer
In the dictionary.
Alphabetical order, not time: the word today is listed before yesterday in a dictionary.
-
23. A truck driver goes the wrong way down a one-way street past two police officers. Why don't they stop him? Medium
Most people first say: officers who were off duty
Need a hint?
What exactly is a truck driver when he's off duty?
Show answer
He's walking, not driving.
Officers being off duty is not it. The job title truck driver says nothing about this moment; he is on the sidewalk on foot, and pedestrians may head either direction.
-
24. What has many keys but can't open a single door? Easy
Most people first say: a computer keyboard
Need a hint?
It has 88 of them.
Show answer
A piano.
Piano keys are the ones you press to make music, not keys that unlock doors.
-
25. If there are three apples and you take away two, how many do you have? Medium
Most people first say: one apple left
Need a hint?
Read the question again. Who has the apples?
Show answer
Two. You took them, so you have them.
The question asks what you possess, not what remains on the table. Grabbing a pair puts that pair in your hands, so counting leftovers gives the wrong number entirely.
-
26. The harder you pull on me, the tighter I hold. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a finger trap toy
Need a hint?
Scouts earn badges for tying me.
Show answer
A knot.
A finger trap only grips what is inside it. Here friction does the work: tension drags the loops against each other, so the harder the tug, the less room remains to slip.
-
27. I have four legs and a back, yet I never walk and I never sleep. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a dog
Need a hint?
You are probably sitting on me right now.
Show answer
A chair.
A dog matches four legs and a back until the last line, since animals nap every day. Ruling out living things leaves furniture, where legs are supports and the back is a rest.
-
28. What word begins and ends with E but only has one letter? Medium
Most people first say: the single letter E
Need a hint?
It has one letter inside it.
Show answer
An envelope.
Envelope begins and ends with E, and the single letter it holds is the mail inside.
-
29. A rooster lays an egg on top of a barn roof. Which way does the egg roll? Easy
Show answer
Roosters don't lay eggs
Roosters are male birds, so they cannot lay anything. Options about rolling direction assume the premise is true, which is the whole trick behind this classic barnyard question.
-
30. You're in a race and you pass the person in second place. What place are you in now? Medium
Show answer
Second
You took their spot, so you're in second. To be first you'd have to pass the leader.
-
31. How many months have 31 days? Easy
Show answer
7
Count the long months instead of guessing six: January, March, May, July, August, October, December give seven. The thirty-day list is shorter than people expect.
-
32. A doctor gives you three pills and says take one every half hour. How long do the pills last? Medium
Show answer
One hour
Count the gaps between doses, not the doses. Swallowing the first one starts the clock at zero, leaving two waits of a half hour, which total sixty minutes.
-
33. Some months have 30 days, some have 31, but no month has exactly 29 days. Medium
Show answer
False.
False. February has 29 days in a leap year, which happens about every four years.
-
34. If a plane crashes exactly on the border of two countries, the survivors are buried in both. Easy
Show answer
False.
False, and it's the classic trap. You don't bury survivors anywhere.
-
35. It's possible for your uncle to be younger than you. Medium
Show answer
True.
True. If your grandparents have a baby after you're born, that baby is your uncle or aunt.
-
36. What has a head and a tail but no body? Easy
Most people first say: a snake
Show answer
A coin
A snake fits head and tail but it is all body, so it fails. Flip to money: the two faces of a coin are nicknamed heads and tails, with nothing between them.
-
37. I get sharper the more you use me, and I live inside your head. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a sharpened pencil
Show answer
Your brain
A pencil goes the other way: writing wears its point down, and it sits in a case, not behind your eyes. Sharper here means quicker at thinking, a figure of speech about practice.
-
38. 🐟 + 🥣 Easy
Most people first say: fish soup
Need a hint?
A pet goldfish swims laps inside one.
Show answer
Fishbowl (fish + bowl).
Read the pair as a meal and you get soup, because a bowl suggests what is inside it. Rebus cards want each picture's own name glued together, so the container's name supplies the ending.
-
39. 🔑 + 🛹 minus the 🛹, then ⛓️ Medium
Most people first say: a skateboard chain
Need a hint?
Riddles love to distract you. Focus on the first and last emoji.
Show answer
Keychain (key + chain). Ignore the skateboard, that was the trick.
The middle picture cancels itself out because it is added and then removed, so only the first and last symbols survive. Reading those two together gives keychain, and the board never counted.
-
40. How many triangles are hiding in this figure? Medium
Most people first say: four triangles
Show answer
Six. Three small ones, two medium ones made of two small triangles each, and the big outer triangle.
Count in two passes. First trace every small triangle on its own, then look for bigger ones built from two smaller pieces sharing a side. Skipping that second pass is how solvers undercount.
-
41. I have a neck but no head, and two arms but no hands. Every morning you pull me over your head. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a glass bottle
Show answer
A shirt.
A bottle covers the neck clue but owns no sleeves, so drop it. Clothing language explains it: the collar is called a neck and the sleeves count as arms, and a garment goes on overhead.
-
42. I climb into the sky each morning and light the whole world, but you must never stare straight at me. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: the moon
Show answer
The sun.
You can gaze at the moon as long as you like, which is what rules it out. The unsafe glare belongs to the one body that makes its own light, and it keeps a morning schedule.
-
43. I have a tongue but cannot taste a thing, and I usually come in a matching pair on your feet. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a pair of socks
Show answer
A shoe.
Socks match the pair clue yet have nothing named a tongue, so they lose. The flap under the laces carries that name, which settles it without any sense of flavor.
-
44. You can crack me, make me, tell me, and play me. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: an egg
Show answer
A joke.
An egg cracks and gets made, then stalls, because nobody tells an egg or plays one. Hunt for the single meaning that survives all four verbs instead of the two that land easily.
-
45. What kind of band can stretch clear across a room but never plays one note of music? Easy
Most people first say: a marching band
Show answer
A rubber band.
The word band means a group of players and also a loop of elastic. Only the elastic sense stretches wall to wall silently, so picture office supplies instead of instruments.
-
46. What kind of tree can you always carry in the palm of your hand? Easy
Most people first say: a tiny bonsai tree
Show answer
A palm tree.
A bonsai sounds right but it is small, not carried always. The pivot is one word with two jobs: the flat inner surface of your hand shares its name with a tropical tree.
-
47. I grow green on a tree in spring, turn gold in the fall, and drift to the ground when the wind blows. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a pinecone
Show answer
A leaf.
A young cone does start out green, yet it ripens toward brown over years instead of flashing a new shade each autumn, and its weight drops it straight down. Yearly color change plus a slow, floating fall decides this card.
-
48. I am a frozen treat on a stick, and I drip down your hand if you eat me too slowly on a hot day. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: an ice cream cone
Show answer
A popsicle.
A cone holds its scoop in edible pastry, so there is no stick to grip. That single detail settles it: the wooden handle belongs to frozen juice, not to scooped dairy.
-
49. I pop open when the sky turns gray and I fold away when the sun comes back out. What am I? Easy
Most people first say: a raincoat
Show answer
An umbrella.
A raincoat you pull on and zip, and cloth alone cannot spring wide on its own. The verbs point at ribs and a hinge, something that snaps into a dome and collapses back to a stick.
-
50. I have cities but no houses, mountains but no trees, and rivers with no water. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a landscape painting
Show answer
A map.
A landscape painting would show houses and trees right alongside the hills, which is exactly what this card denies. Only a labeled diagram lists places by name while leaving out everything that fills them.
-
51. I have a face and two hands, but no arms, no legs, and no eyes. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a compass
Show answer
A clock.
A compass also owns a dial, yet it points with a single needle, so the count of pointers rules it out. Both nouns here are borrowed body words for a flat dial and its moving pointers.
-
52. I have a single eye but I cannot see, and I help sew a loose button back on. What am I? Medium
Most people first say: a spool of thread
Show answer
A needle.
The hole in a needle is called an eye, though it cannot actually see.
-
53. What building holds thousands of stories inside but was only built one time? Hard
Most people first say: a tall skyscraper
Need a hint?
The word stories has a second meaning here.
Show answer
A library.
Stories can mean tales in books, so a library holds thousands even though it was built once.
-
54. Why could the tired bicycle not stand up by itself? Hard
Most people first say: a flat front tire
Need a hint?
Say the number of wheels out loud.
Show answer
It was two tired.
A bike has two tires, which sounds like too tired, so it could not stay up.
-
55. Why was the broom running late for school this morning? Hard
Most people first say: an extra sweeping job
Need a hint?
Swap one sweeping word for a sleeping one.
Show answer
It over-swept.
Over-swept sounds like overslept, the joke a broom would make for sleeping in.
-
56. Why did the scarecrow get handed a shiny gold medal? Hard
Most people first say: excellent crow scaring
Need a hint?
One phrase about praise also describes where he stands.
Show answer
He was outstanding in his field.
Outstanding in his field means both excellent and literally standing out in a field.
-
57. Why did the frog have to take the bus to work? Hard
Most people first say: a dead car battery
Need a hint?
Name a cousin of the frog, then listen.
Show answer
His car got toad.
Toad sounds just like towed, which is what happens to a badly parked car.
-
58. Why did the belt end up getting arrested by the police? Hard
Most people first say: a bank robbery
Need a hint?
What else can holding something up mean?
Show answer
It held up a pair of pants.
One phrase carries two readings. A holdup is a robbery, yet the same words describe a strap keeping trousers at your waist, and the joke charges the innocent meaning with the crime.
-
59. Why should you never fully trust a staircase? Hard
Most people first say: creaky wobbly steps
Need a hint?
Suspicious people and stairs share one short phrase.
Show answer
It is always up to something.
Up to something means both being sneaky and leading upward to another floor.
-
60. Why did the little melon jump straight into the lake? Hard
Most people first say: a quick cooling swim
Need a hint?
The joke needs a longer fruit name than melon.
Show answer
It wanted to become a watermelon.
A swim to cool off is the sensible motive, but the payoff is spelling: whatever fills the lake attaches to the front of the fruit's name.
-
61. Why did the banana make an appointment with the school nurse? Hard
Most people first say: a plain stomach ache
Need a hint?
Say feeling out loud, then think about fruit skin.
Show answer
It was not peeling well.
Peeling sounds like feeling, so a sick banana was not peeling well.
-
62. What did the grape do the moment a big shoe stepped on it? Hard
Most people first say: a puddle of grape juice
Need a hint?
The squeak rhymes with a bottled drink.
Show answer
It let out a little wine.
Wine sounds like whine, the small complaint a squished grape would make.
-
63. Why did the cookie finally make a doctor's appointment? Hard
Most people first say: a cookie broken in half
Need a hint?
One word fits both sick and crumbly.
Show answer
It was feeling crummy.
Crummy means both unwell and full of crumbs, which fits a cookie perfectly.
-
64. Why was the little cookie crying at snack time? Hard
Most people first say: a spilled cup of milk
Need a hint?
Blend away for into one crisp cookie word.
Show answer
Its mom had been a wafer too long.
A wafer too long sounds like away for too long, and a wafer is also a thin cookie.
-
65. Why can a person's nose never be exactly twelve inches long? Hard
Most people first say: a rule about nose growth
Need a hint?
Twelve inches has another name entirely.
Show answer
Because then it would be a foot.
Measurement units hide the joke: twelve inches make one foot, so the answer swaps a body part for a ruler mark instead of describing any nose.
-
66. What did one wall quietly say to the other wall? Hard
Most people first say: a plain friendly hello
Need a hint?
The punchline is a phrase people text each other.
Show answer
Meet me at the corner.
A greeting would be the natural line for two neighbors to trade, yet it carries no joke. The humor comes from reading a meet up plan as geometry, since flat surfaces genuinely join along an edge.
-
67. Why did the golfer pack an extra pair of pants for the game? Hard
Most people first say: rain during the match
Need a hint?
A golf brag also sounds like torn clothing.
Show answer
In case he got a hole in one.
A hole in one is a great golf shot, but here it means a hole in the pants.
-
68. What kind of shoes do the laziest people love to slip on? Hard
Most people first say: a pair of flip-flops
Need a hint?
Bread name doubles as a word for idling.
Show answer
Loafers.
A loafer is a slip-on shoe and also a word for someone who loafs around.
-
69. Why did the painting get sent straight to jail? Hard
Most people first say: caught hanging on a wall
Need a hint?
Blamed unfairly, or edged in wood.
Show answer
It was framed.
Framed means blamed for a crime, but a picture is also put in a frame.
-
70. What do you call a duck that answers every question right in class? Hard
Most people first say: a smart duckling
Need a hint?
Swap cracker sounds into a duck noise.
Show answer
A wise quacker.
Wise quacker sounds like wisecracker, and a duck says quack.
-
71. What do you call a strawberry that is feeling really down and gloomy? Hard
Most people first say: a very sour strawberry
Need a hint?
Sad moods borrow a color name.
Show answer
A blueberry.
The idiom feeling blue carries the whole joke: color words double as moods, so the sad fruit swaps its name for the color of gloom rather than staying red.
-
72. What did the big oak tree wear to the swimming pool? Hard
Most people first say: leaf-green swim goggles
Need a hint?
Shorts and tree bodies share one word.
Show answer
Swimming trunks.
One noun serves two worlds: a tree keeps its thick woody column while shorts share that label, so the pun lands on the shared word rather than on leaves or bark.
-
73. What did the janitor shout when he jumped out of the supply closet? Hard
Most people first say: boo from the doorway
Need a hint?
The word he yells only sounds like surprise.
Show answer
Supplies!
A plain boo is the expected yell, which is what makes this land. The punchline trades surprise for a near homophone pulled off the closet's own shelves, so the joke rides on sound.
-
74. Why did the invisible man turn down the brand new job? Hard
Most people first say: low pay at the job
Need a hint?
An idiom about doubt also fits transparency.
Show answer
He just could not see himself doing it.
Could not see himself means both unsure about the job and literally invisible.
-
75. What kind of music does a balloon absolutely refuse to listen to? Hard
Most people first say: loud rock music
Need a hint?
One music genre names a bursting noise.
Show answer
Pop.
Pop is a style of music and also the sound of a balloon bursting.
-
76. I have branches all over town but never a single leaf, and I keep everyone's money safe. What am I? Hard
Most people first say: a leafless tree
Need a hint?
Companies grow offices the way trees grow limbs.
Show answer
A bank.
A bank has branches in different places, but they are offices, not tree branches.
-
77. What do you call a fish that has no eyes at all? Hard
Most people first say: a blind fish
Need a hint?
Eyes and a vowel sound the same.
Show answer
A fsh.
Spelling holds the trick: the vowel i sounds identical to the organ named here, so deleting that letter from the creature's spelling leaves a strange three-letter word.
-
78. Why did the rolling orange suddenly stop halfway down the hill? Hard
Most people first say: a rock in the path
Need a hint?
Phones and fruit both run low somehow.
Show answer
It ran out of juice.
Out of juice means out of energy, and an orange is full of real juice.

FAQ about Riddles for 10 Year Olds
Are these riddles too hard for a 10 year old?
No, they are aimed right at that edge. A typical 10 year old cracks most of them with some thought, and the hint button covers the rest.
How does a 10 year old check an answer on this page?
Sixty-nine of the 78 cards keep the answer hidden until you tap them, so there is room to argue about the echo or the stamp first. Two cards take a typed guess instead, and the seven quiz cards mark your choice the moment you pick.
Which of these riddles work best in a fourth or fifth grade class?
The pun cards land fastest out loud, so a teacher can read the two tired bicycle or the framed painting to the whole room. The cards with a hint button suit small group work, and the count-the-triangles drawing makes a good early-finisher challenge.
