    A test to feel stupid on a saturday

    This is a test for Smart People.....I have determined that you qualify.

    The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a
    professional. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL
    you have answered the question!

    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? 
 

    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. 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 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 answers correct. Anderson Consulting says
    this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.



    I got them all wrong and I took the test twice.

    Update: The smart guys found out, much to their dismay, that you can't rely on other peoples' research, and in fact not all the crocodiles are actually at the conference. Now the stupid people are all standing around safe-and-sound back at the refrigerator, still working on the giraffe problem, while the smart people are no more, and the crocodiles who either ignored or never got the memo about the conference are all well-fed, as are the lions, who still can't believe how many animals fell for that phony conference invitation.

            Okay that didn't give a scale on what we were if we answered the first one, "by cutting it up?". What does that make me. Also if you throw the elephant in the water first then you will be able to cross the river with out the crocs getting you.

              OK so I got 1 right (#3)........I usually just cross the river on the bridge. Sometimes on a tree that fell over it. I've even been known to wade across if it is not too deep.

              LOML says giraffe tastes like chicken! However I put a giraffe in the fridge cut and wrapped. No need to refrigerate elephant as only the ivory is worth keeping.

                  Got the first three, but fed the elephant to the crocodiles so they'd be full when I tried to cross.
