    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?

    {Scroll down after you've answered}














    The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator door, 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 door, 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
    Meeting. 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 Consultng says this conclusively disproves the
    theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

    Cut him up into small pieces with a chain saw, put the pieces in
    plastic bags, and put them in the refrigerator.

    Trick question. Both the giraffe and the elephant are dead and in
    my fridge, so actually it's TWO animals not attending.


    >Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator.

    Take the dismembered giraffe and elephant pieces out of the
    refrigerator, put them in the water, let the crocodiles eat until
    they're full and sleepy, then swim across.

    This answer is over-complicated, containing redundant actions. Once the giraffe is in the refrigerator, the task is complete. There is no need to close the door. I contend that the person who wrote this test is too stupid to administer tests, and thus all results are null and void. Moreover, it proves that I are more smartest than you.

    I got them all right because this has been posted many times before :rolleyes:

    am I twisted to find that funny?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭Doper Than U


    LMAO @ Catch 22.. the scary thing is I thought of dismemberment too...


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 17,993 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    am I twisted to find that funny?
    No because that would make me twisted as well...

    As to the original questions:
    1) Right
    2) Got the wrong answer but the question said "a fridge" not "the fridge" so, not using the definite article, I assume it was a different fridge. That was some poor writing there.
    3) I went for the Lion King. There's nothing to suggest a link between the second and third questions....
    4) I took the giraffe out of the fridge and fed him to the crocodiles because it seemed funny. But the dismemberment option with the chainsaws was far funnier....
