Quiz

This is great! A friend sent this...read slowly and.... NO CHEATING.

(I got none right )

Four Totally Enjoyable Short Riddles


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?

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. Okay,
even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still
have one more chance to show your true abilities.

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.

Re: Quiz

I caught on by the end and was able to get the fourth question correct. I tried to lead both the giraffe and the elephant into the fridge with food. I also decided that the Lion King would not attend his own conference.

Bullshit. Where does it say that the refrigerator is big enough to hold a giraffe or an elephant, but not both? I'm assuming a REALLY big refrigerator.

Again, bullshit. My dog did not attend. She was with me and I have pictures to prove it.

OK, I don't have a flippant response to this one. And I thought the quiz was hilarious.

Re: Quiz

When I first started to look for jobs one of my good friend told me all these questions and their answers, just in case.

So no surprise for me.
