This is an old folk task. A peasant woman came to the market to sell eggs. The first customer bought from her half of all the eggs and another half-eggs. The second customer bought half the remaining eggs and another half-eggs. The third bought only one egg. After that, the peasant woman had nothing left. How many eggs did she bring to the bazaar?

Answer: The problem is solved from the end. After the second customer bought half of the remaining eggs and another half-egg, the peasant has only one egg left.

I do not agree to this, Nikolai objected, my pile of grain is the smallest.

The peasants argued. A little quarrel did not come. The grain is poured from one pile to another, from another to the third and they will not come to an agreement, someone is surely unhappy.

If we were two, I am Peter, - cried Ivan in the hearts, I would instantly share. I would have scattered the grain into two equal piles and suggested that Peter choose one, and take the rest. Both of us would be pleased. And here I do not know how to be. The peasants wondered how to divide the grain, so that everyone was happy, so that everyone was sure that he received at least a third. And come up with.

Think up and you.

Answer: Ivan suggested dividing the grain like this:

I scatter the grain into three piles, in my opinion, equally and move aside. Any of the heaps will work for me. Let then Peter will indicate the smallest, in his opinion, heap of grain.

Trick riddles, 4.4 out of 5 based on 20 ratings

Riddle is a special kind of wit, which has always received attention in society. This part of folklore was actively used for teaching, creating a certain mood and ideas in people of different ages and situations. Russian folklore riddles corresponding to the occasion appeared in textbooks, books, magazines and newspapers, and also spread orally.

The concept and features of the Russian folk mystery

As a rule, riddles are understood as an allegory in the form of a description of things or phenomena, given in an interrogative form. The addition of "Russian folk" implies that it appeared and is used in the territories of the Slavic countries or among the Russian-speaking population.

Many people, understanding the essence of this part of folklore, are not able to give it a clear definition, but they will definitely give as examples one of the riddles known to them. Among the features of this phenomenon are:

• Sphere of distribution - all Slavic peoples and territories. Folklore from the whole territory of the former Russian Empire (USSR) is included in Russian folk riddles, proverbs, sayings and jokes. And there are mysteries of the Belarusian, Mari, Volga, Siberian, etc.
• Lack of copyright. It is impossible to install a specific puzzle maker. They simply appear in a certain period, become obsolete, disappear or are processed into more modern versions. So collections of various riddles do not write, but make up.
• Specific subject. Folklore, especially intended for children, rarely operates with abstract concepts such as life, death, soul, and morality, and focus on specific concepts. For example, Russian folk puzzles about the air do not tell about this phenomenon, but about quite tangible clouds or smoke, that is, about things that everyone has seen and can recognize.

Place in folklore and free art

Mysteries of Russian folk is one of the most significant and lively poetic genres by which worldview in society can be. Even 60-70 years ago, they constituted a significant part of the leisure activities of young people and the official authorities used them, including for propaganda.

The peak of the study of mysteries as part of folklore and compilation of collections fell on the XIX-XX centuries. In particular, in 1837, Tales of the Russian People and Proverbs, compiled by the talented archaeologist and traveler I. P. Sakharov, were published. And in 1976, D. N. Sadovnikov released his "Mysteries of the Russian People". A collection of 2504 points subsequently reprinted several times.

Certain attention was given to riddles in the USSR. In 1932, under the editorship of M. A. Rybnikova, the most comprehensive collection was published, which included the folklore of various regions, the works of schoolchildren and new “Soviet” notions.

• 2 plows. 2 turnips. In the middle of the factory. RSFSR.
• Not beet and carrot, and the red head. Pioneer.
• Someone with a voice, but without a voice. Disabled, that is, defeated in the rights.

In the future, the serious work of M. A. Rybnikova became the source for the creation of developing children's books. Riddles from it can be found in many modern publications.

In the XXI century, the number of new puzzles has decreased markedly, but they themselves have become much more difficult and sometimes give cynical humor. The heritage of the Soviet times is also widely used in primary school textbooks and educational literature for the youngest (3-6 years).

Outdated puzzles. Forms

Like any part of the Russian language, folklore is peculiar to updating. First of all, the riddles of Russian folk are forgotten about obsolete things. For example:

• Plowing clean field. Black sheep scolding. Bread in the oven.
• Troshka stands on one leg, crumbles fiery crumbs. Svetets - stand for torch.
• Black Riding on the stove rides. Oven grip.

Technical progress struck out a lot from folklore, and there was nothing to fill the void. Today, 80% of all known riddles, in one way or another, use outdated words and expressions - caftan, horde, millstone, king, etc. While they are still understood by people (and especially children) and remain part of the cultural tradition.

Commonly used riddles have several verbal forms:

• Narrative with interrogative intonation. For example: "Four brothers stand under one roof."   Table.
• Verse of different lengths - from 6 to 30-40 words. For example: "The house has grown in the field. The house is full of grain. The walls are gilded. The shutters are boarded up. The house goes with a turn. There is gold on the pole". Rye.
• Ongoing. This type is characterized by a smooth description of the thing, where each subsequent phrase is a continuation of the previous one. For example: "The forks stand, and a barrel is on the forks. A barrel waved. There was a swing on the mahal. There was a yawn on the swing. There was a snuff in the nose. The blinker on the smile. Person.

It is worth noting that this kind of Russian folk, and often oversaturated with parables. They should be given either to adults or children from 10 years.

Poetic riddles

They note that folklore in a poetic form seems to be more vivid by ear and easier to remember. Most of the famous riddles and appearances, including very short, rhymed. The most commonly used triple or four-stop trochee:

• Front awl. Behind the wiltz. On the chest - a towel. Swallow.
• White mansions. Red backwaters. Goose.
• What is in front of us? Two shafts behind the ears, in front of the wheel and the nurse on the nose. Points

Russian folk mysteries in verse can have 2 types:

1. Rhymed question.

2. Unfinished poem, where the answer is the last word in rhyme. Most often, they are used to teach children about counting, alphabet, and natural history.

  and the weather

Various natural phenomena have always been the subject of close attention in folklore. Water, earth, moon, rivers, stars and many other things - they were all the subject of guessing. And the peak of their appearance came at the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century, when people began to pay much more attention to the surrounding world. At that time Russian folk fog, smoke and clouds appeared - phenomena are very ephemeral.

• Good, good. He looks at everyone, but does not command himself. The sun.
• White bird in the sky. Resting on a block of snow. Moon in the clouds.
• She ran - made noise. Died - shone. Frozen river.
• On the street a pillar. In the hut - a tablecloth. Smoke.
• Eagle flies across the blue sky. Wings spread out, the sun blinded. Cloud.
• I give an answer to every call, but not body and soul. Echo.

No less popular subject - the seasons and weather phenomena. Particularly interesting Russian folk winter and related events such as snow, leaf fall, frost, blizzard and wind.

  and people

Children's thinking requires pointing to specific things, and therefore Russian folk puzzles about animals (wild and domestic) at all times were a significant part of this kind of folklore. Moreover, they are doubly useful, as in a game form they bring to the child information about the leads, behavior or danger of a particular beast. For example:

• Small, but lightweight. And you will not lift by the tail. Lizard.
• Behind the field and forest line there is a mountain with sand. Anthill.
• In the swamp jumping, human-like swims. Frog.
• With horns, but not bull. Runs like a dragonfly. Jumps like a flea. Deer.
• Hanging sieve. Not by hands suited. Web.
• Flies - beeps, sits - silent. Who will kill him - shed his blood. Mosquito.
• All I wake up on time, even though I do not start looking for hours. Cock.
• Scouring the fields. Lambs and calves looking for. Wolf.

Russian folk children's puzzles, dedicated to man, allow in an entertaining way to teach a child the basics of anatomy. They will learn to identify parts of the body according to the description only.

• 2 brothers live across the road. One does not see the other. Eyes.
• 5 brothers live. All have the same name. Fingers.
• Between the two luminaries I am one. Nose.
• One says. Two are watching, and two are listening. Mouth, eyes and ears.
• What part of a person is always wet? Tongue.

Riddles about numbers, alphabet and learning process

After the revolution of 1917 and the formation of a new state in society, much attention was paid to literacy of the population. Send to reading courses for older people who already have grandchildren, it was commonplace. But among the younger generation, the prestige of education helped to disseminate the riddles of Russian folk, rhymes and ditties about ignoramuses. All the folklore on this subject can be divided into the following groups:

1. About educational accessories - notebooks, books, textbooks, etc.

• White field, black seed. Who sows it - he understands. Book.
• When is a sighted person blind? Illiterate.
• He does not speak, does not tell, but shows an example. Poster.
• On one paper the whole world is placed. Geographic map.

2. About the alphabet, numbers and other sciences.

Russian folk children's puzzles, compiled in verse form (with answer-ending), are very effective as a means of teaching first-graders the basics of writing and arithmetic.

Riddles about food and things

The most updated part of folklore, in which riddles die after the withdrawal from the use of certain things. But instead, they also regularly appear new. So you can easily find riddles about the Russian stove, poker or rocker, as well as about a computer, cell phone, car or plane.

The subject of this group is very extensive and in any collection there is an easy riddle about the Russian folk instrument, clothing, heating, handicraft, equipment, etc.

• He strokes everything he touches, and if you touch him, he bites. Iron.
• The horse is steel, and the tail is silk (linen). Needle and thread.
• One hand meets. The other accompanies. A door.

Riddles about food are mostly concentrated around several of the most important products available to everyone - bread (chunks, loaf), salt, sugar, pancakes, dough, milk.

Puzzles for adults. Erotic folklore

There is an opinion that Russian folk mysteries about nature, things and food are intended for children. But it is not so. A huge layer of folklore is directly related to adults. And this is not only particularly complex forms, but also erotic puzzles - the category "18+". Despite strict religious and then party censorship, they flourished at all times.

Riddles for adults are always ambiguous and deeply ironic, as they are built on deceived expectations. While uttering the text, the performer pretends that he does not understand the sexual meaning of keywords like “hole”, “pull”, “peck”, etc. And the main lie is that the answer to the riddle does not contain an indiscreet meaning. For example:

• Two apples in the moss. Carrot upstairs. Eyes and nose.
• Dangling between the legs - the letter "x" is called. As he sees the letter "p" immediately rises. Elephant's trunk and food.
• From ass to mouth. Egg.
• Hanging - dangle. Everyone grabs him. Towel.

Riddles, as part of folklore, exist in all countries. But Russians stand out against the global background with their multiplicity, variety of forms and importance for society.
