One thing I love about doing riddles is how it builds self-confidence in 99% of students while deflating the egos of the few braggarts who think they are the sharpest arrow in the quiver. Not only do they teach creative, outside-the-box thinking but humility too – and that Mastery is hard-earned.
(I am sure my previous students can guess what would prompt me to write such a post. Something a tad extreme – for riddles – and certainly a good story/lesson.)
