Mystic Riddles for Kids
Q: In an enchanted forest, a unicorn tells you, “I will grant you a wish if you can solve my riddle. I was born in the year of the dragon, which comes every 12 years. This year is the year of the tiger, and I am 108 years old. How many cycles of the dragon have passed since my birth?”
A. 9 Cycles.
Solution:
To find the number of dragon cycles:
One dragon cycle is 12 years.
Unicorn’s age = 108 years.
Number of cycles = 108 / 12 = 9.
Q: A mystical artifact is said to appear only once every century. It first appeared in the year 1200. The artifact has appeared 5 times so far. What is the current year?

Solution:
Each appearance cycle is 100 years (one century).
First appearance: 1200.
5th appearance: 1200 + (5 – 1) * 100 = 1200 + 400 = 1600.

Q: A wizard’s age is a two-digit number. If you reverse the digits, you get the age of his apprentice. The wizard is 36 years older than the apprentice. How old are they?
A. Wizard is 52 years old; apprentice is 25 years old.
Solution:
Let the wizard’s age be 10a + b and the apprentice’s age be 10b + a.
Given:
Wizard’s age = 10a + b
Apprentice’s age = 10b + a
(10a + b) = (10b + a) + 36
Solving for a and b:
10a + b = 10b + a + 36
9a – 9b = 36
a – b = 4
Possible values:
Wizard’s age (10a + b) = 52
Apprentice’s age (10b + a) = 25

How many days until the next full moon?
A. In 12 Days
Solution:
The sage indicates that the number of days until the next full moon is the same as today’s date.
Today is the 12th.
Therefore, the next full moon is in 12 days.
