armjan Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend? 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?

armjan Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 answers: 1.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.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.Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. 4.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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouse Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? 40 midgets and sacred oils from India. 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Chinese labor. 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend? The aardvark! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/Anonymouse/aardvark.jpg 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? style_images/master/snapback.png This is when you take the 40 midgets and kill them all and use their bodies as a raft. By the time it takes the crocs to get through the midgets you'll be safe across to the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
