I got the 1st and 3rd questions right. :dead:

------------

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?


































The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door.





This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.





2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?



































Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?



Wrong Answer.


Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.





This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.





3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend.... except one. Which animal does not attend?


































Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there.





This tests your memory.



4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?


































Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.





This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.





According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

Haha, I got 4/4.


Alrightt, mostly because I've heard this before :stickout:
When I first heard it I think I got 3/4, because I didn't know that Lion King thing was connected as well. And it was just told as a riddle, not as 'Are you qualified to be a professional' :)

For the first question, I actually thought, "Well, cut it up... it'd fit easily into a fridge then." Heh.

I thought the same thing- I didn't get any right, because i think like an engineer :P

like one time in intro to environmental engineering class... my professor asked the class why a part of a water treatment basin would contain styrofoam. a couple people tried to answer, saying something about the density, or if it fills with water... my professor stopped them, and said, "you're thinking like engineers. don't. think like a redneck... it's because people shot at them and they sunk". sometimes you have to look for the easy solution :P

I had seen it before, so I didn't really "take" the test, per se. But I thought of cutting up the giraffe, too, but then I figured if you fold it up it'll fit in there anyway :P

Oh, that's easy. I've done it before. But when I did it back then, I got none of them correct. I was thinking things would be much more complicated. :lol:

I thought about folding it aswell, poor giraffe though I think it won't feel nice to be folded.

I got the first 2 right....but technically they dont logically make sense...because (1) you only put one elephant into the fridge and there is more that one elephant so there shouldve been more animal conference (2) it asks how you put them in...it doesnt say you actually did

I got all three right....









Okay so I kind of cheated, I'd heard it before. Other than that, I think the first time I ever heard this one I got the second one and the third one right. The crocodile thing got me.
