The Giraffe Test…

Hey All,

Okay… I got this one in an email, actually I had gotten it a couple times, and I thought it was cute.  So here goes.

The Giraffe Test

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

Stop and think about it and decide on your answer before you highlight the answer.

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator door, put the giraffe in, and close the refrigerator 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 door, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator door?"

Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator door, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator 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.  Didn’t you just put him in there?  This tests your  memory.  Okay,  even if you did not answer the first 3 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 Conference.  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.

I have posted this to frustrate you, my smart readers! 

Have a happy day!

I got the first two because I’d heard them before. Not the second two though. Maybe next time! ;] – James.
