There are certain words and whole phrases that have more than one meaning. The first comes to mind immediately. But in order to discover the hidden, you need to carefully read, listen and, as they say, "brainwash."
Some subtle questions are built on this, they are called so: riddles with a double meaning.
In the stack the nest is advised by the trendsetter
Try to find the answer to the question posed by the following poem.
1.
There is such a capital in the world
What is famous for it does not happen.
Chefs in it and restaurants -
The standard for any kitchen.
There are beauties that are mollusks.
How to put on your clothes
Immediately fashionistas in different countries
I copy them all in a crowd.
The aromas of the capital of this
Popular all over the world,
Be it Old and be it New
It smells everywhere of this country.
Here is the capital of people of art,
Here love is born a feeling.
And on the tower of three hundred meters
Tourists crowded crowd.
How does it all fit together
With the fact that the city is located
On dried mowed grass
What do cows chew in winter?
Here, a riddle with a double meaning is obtained as a result of the fact that the words “hay” (dried grass, which goes to feed livestock) and the Seine (river in France) in the prepositional case are absolutely indistinguishable from each other. And the answer to the question "what kind of state capital in Europe stands on dry grass?" there will be a phrase: "Paris stands on the Seine."
Ducks won't answer, why are they swimming
2.
I come to rest here.
But today is a little puzzled
I came to the shore of the pond.
At home they asked me a task:
"Why do ducks swim?"
They told me: “You’ll decide in a minute!”
But I’ve been standing for an hour.
Ducks are swimming and silent
They don’t want to help me.
And I ask you for clues.
This interesting riddle is built on puns, that is, simply, a pun. That which is perceived as an interrogative adverb of “why” should correctly be written separately, as a preposition “from” with the pronoun “what” (a form of the genitive case, singular from “what”).
In this case, you do not need to rack your brains for a long time, inventing answers like these:
- because otherwise he will starve to death;
- because her feathers are covered with fat and do not allow water to pass through;
- from idleness or hopelessness.
You can, without straining too much, answer that the duck is swimming from the place where she stopped walking or flying. For example, from the coast.

There are, in addition, special, piquant puzzles that fall into the category of "for adults." Now many thematic Internet resources claim that these puzzles with a double meaning are Soviet. Repeatedly had to deal with information, they say, such opuses were published by the magazine Murzilka, popular among the children of the USSR.
Perhaps some of them - yes. This is if we take into account the meaning of the questions, which for some reason escapes, releasing to the forefront the association, as they say, "below the belt". In fact, they are designed for this (in any case, today). And the secret, hidden meaning here is, on the contrary, just a very decent interpretation given in the answers.
