Here are some tricky National Science And Maths Quiz (NSMQ) riddles for you. Get through these riddles to see how best you can tackle them. Place the answers in the comments section below. In case you need the answers, let us know. For now, let’s get started. 

National Science And Maths Quiz (NSMQ) Riddles

Riddles have been part of the National Science And Maths Quiz competition for decades now. The riddles section usually comes at round five (5) of the NSMQ competition. 

It goes this way: During round five (5), the contesting schools are given clues. The competing schools battle each other to find the solutions to the riddles.

The school that gets the correct answer for the first clue gets five (5) points. Four (4) points are awarded to the school that get the second clue correct and then, three (3) points are awarded to the school that answers the third question or clue. Other subsequent clues equally fetch three (3) points. Usually, there are four (4) riddles in round five (5) of the competition.
