The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional".

Scroll down for each answer.





The questions are not that difficult.





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?




































Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.
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 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.
This tests your memory.OK, even if you did not answer the first three
questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?




































Correct Answer: You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the animal conference. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen 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.

I wonder if 90% is REALLY the percentage. You know Anderson has had a difficult time lately in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

I got 1 & 3 right.
#2 - I don't understand why you have to take out the Giraffe to put the Elephant in.
#4 - I said "use a bridge". If the Crocodiles are at the meeting then the river is no longer "inhabited" then is it?

My answers are;

1) Chop the giraffe up.

2) Chop the elephant up.

3) The monkeys...since they're such smart asses, they don't consider the lion to be the king.

4)Use the refrigerator to float across after removing its motor and condensor etc.
