Puzzles.

Definition.

    If I were asked to name the most poetic phenomenon created by man with the help of the word, I would say without hesitation: these are riddles. But, unfortunately, we know them so poorly, and so little is the time that is allotted at school to get to know them!

    What is puzzles? If you give them the traditional short definition, then it can be like this. Puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects or phenomena of reality that are proposed to be guessed. Indeed, for example, in enigma“The matryoshka stands on one leg, wrapped up, tangled” cabbage is allegorically represented. But, of course, under this one definition it is impossible to substitute all riddles. After all, the material that we perceive as riddles is much richer. For example, in the riddle about the river “Flows, flows - does not flow out, runs, runs - does not run out” there is no allegory, it contains a description of the river, but there is no image of an object that would allegorically remind of the river. There are other types of riddles. For example, such: “What can a person not live without?” Answer: No name. Or: “What is the softest thing in the world?” Turns out it's a hand. These are riddles that require unconventional thinking from the guesser. After all, it is necessary to give one out of a huge number of possible answers, but one with which everyone would agree. You never know, for example, without which a person cannot live! And without water, and without air, and without food. But still, an unexpected guess - "Without a name" - will satisfy, perhaps, everyone. Indeed, not only a person cannot live without water, air, food… But only people (everyone!) get names.

    This example testifies to another feature of such riddles. The answer should be original, unexpected, often causing a smile. And there are many riddles that have comic answers. Well, for example: “Which month is the shortest?” Ordinary answer: February. But the correct one is "May" (only three letters!). “What stones are not in the sea?” - "Dry".

    These types riddles could be called as follows: riddles-allegory, riddles-descriptions and riddles-questions. But there is another type riddles: riddles-tasks. They are very similar to puzzles from school textbooks, if not for one circumstance. Here, for example, is one of these riddles: “A flock of geese flew, towards them one goose. “Hello,” he says, “one hundred geese!” - “No, we are not a hundred geese. If there were so many more, yes half as many, yes a quarter as many, yes you, goose, then there would be a hundred of us geese. "How many geese flew?" Answer: 36 geese. The task is purely arithmetic, it requires the guessing ability to count. But there are other tasks as well. For example: “There was a hunter. I saw three crows on a tree and fired. One killed. How much is left on the tree? The "reasonable" answer is purely arithmetic: there are two crows left on the tree. But no! He killed one, and the rest flew away ... Or: “A flock of geese flew, the hunters killed one. How much is left?" Of course one is dead.

    We see that riddles-tasks, like riddles-questions, are extraordinary, they are really tests for ingenuity, they develop, activate our mental activity. And this combines riddles-questions with riddles-tasks; they undoubtedly have similarities in this with riddles-allegories, riddles-descriptions. After all, the tasks proposed in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions require intelligence, non-standard thinking: to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the unusual.

    Thus, all these small forms of folklore are united in their life purpose: they are of an educational nature, they contribute to the development of human mental activity. That is why we study them in school.

    However, not only the vital purpose unites these types riddles. It is impossible not to notice that they are all built on a paradox. Translated from Greek, “paradox” means an unexpected phenomenon that sharply contradicts common sense, at odds with generally accepted opinion. We have seen that riddles are built on unusual comparisons, expected in line with common sense, generally accepted guesses turn out to be false, and just the most unexpected, but the only true ones, are correct.

    The similarity of these four types of riddles is also in their construction. The composition of all riddles without exception is two-part: the first part is a question, the second is an answer. This is very clearly seen in the example of riddles-questions and riddles-tasks. The question form is veiled in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. However, the question does not have to be expressed in words. After all, the riddle existed and exists truly only in oral form, and the question can also be conveyed by intonation. In addition, the questioning nature of the first part of riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions is indicated by the need to answer only their first part. The answer suggests the existence of a question.

    But that's where the similarity ends. Some differences have already been discussed, but we note one more important one. Riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions differ from riddles-questions and riddles-tasks in that they are created on the basis of poetic imagery, they surprise us with poetic pictures, artistic details; but riddles-questions, riddles-tasks are strong in their logic, a game not of the imagination, but of the mind. It seems that this is why in literature lessons at school a clear preference is given to riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. And among the people they enjoyed invariably great success. We know thousands of them, while riddles-questions and riddles-tasks are little known.

    Thus, puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects and phenomena of reality or their description, which is proposed to be solved.

Riddles game 1.

    This book contains many riddles of different peoples of our country - about man, and about animals, and about birds, and about plants, and about the earth, and about the sky, and about various objects ...

    Riddles can be made to each other, but riddles can also be played together, like other games.

    That's how they play puzzles Russian guys. They gather somewhere, sit down comfortably and start playing "cities". Each takes several cities, say ten.

    In order not to forget your cities and not confuse them with others, you need to write them down on a piece of paper and keep this sheet in front of you.

    The names of the cities of the players should not be repeated. If they are repeated, confusion and disputes will begin.

    One of the players is appointed as a riddle. He must guess a dozen riddles.

    Here he comes up with the first riddle. The players take turns approaching him and quietly, so that the others do not hear, say a guess.

    Whoever fails to guess or guesses incorrectly, hands over one of his cities to the riddle.

    How do they do it? The Riddler puts a badge next to the name of the city.

    When all participants in the game have given an answer, the riddle makes a new riddle. It is guessed in the same way as the first.

    After ten riddles, they look at who has how many cities left. It happens that some of the players will surrender all their cities.

    Then a new riddle comes out and the game continues. He comes up with other riddles, and everyone guesses them. The one who guesses them.

    The one who guesses correctly receives the city that he passed.

    Then the third riddle comes out with his own new riddles, and everyone guesses them. After that, they look at who has how many cities left. The one who surrendered all his cities and failed to return them is forced to do some funny thing. This is where the game ends.

    You can “hand over” not only cities, but also animals, birds, and parts of clothing - a hat, scarf, jacket, shirt, belt, shoes.

    Riddles game 2.

    This game is called "grandmother". They play "grandmother" like this. Everyone gets in a row (you can also play while sitting). The first is a riddle.

    Many participants in the game can guess it, but the answer cannot be said aloud. Only the one who is standing or sitting next to the riddle can say the answer out loud.

    As soon as he guesses, he must make a new riddle to his neighbor. If he guesses it, he makes another riddle to his neighbor. So the riddles go along their chain to the end, and then they can return the opposite way.

    But it is not always so easy for riddles to follow the chain. It happens that someone cannot guess the riddle or answers incorrectly. Then the neighbor asks him a second riddle. I could not guess this one either - they guess the third one for him. . Well, if he doesn’t guess the third one, let him go to the very end of the row. After that, the game continues. They play as long as they can come up with new puzzles.
