Think about these carefully before clicking to see the answers.

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 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.

How many did you get right?

Edit: Please reply so as to keep this new and see how many get them right.

I always thought this was a bad joke... that's how I first heard it, anyway. I got them all right... because it's a bad joke and you shouldn't forget that kind of stuff.

The second question is how to put an elephant in a refrigerator. There is no grammatical clue or assumption to presuppose it's the same refrigerator.

Assuming the Lion King is a feared autocrat one would have thought the elephant would make a considerable effort to reach the event and I fear few refrigerators (except maybe the one in the 4th indy film) could withstanding an aggravated elephant.

Once we've been told the elephant can't make it then it is surely clear that the Lion King is not that big a motivation for all the animals. Based on this we can't make the assumption that the river is clear. Also seeing as we don't know the time scale we can't be sure that the crocodiles aren't using the river to return from the meeting or head to it.

my initial answer involved chopping up then dehydrating the giraffe, the elephant question involved getting a very large refrigerator the third... well i had 2, so i got this one totally wrong, the fourth... well i had several, one involved metamaterials, one a hovercraft, one a bridge. i dont like the idea of swimming in a jungle river regardless of the amount of electrical current put through it.

I'd answer you but I'm at an animal conference and my friend is in a refrigerator.

Oh, now that my daily wit intake exceeded.

I got all of them wrong in a literal sense.

I have a better one. This was my math Teachers graduate test:

You are in a room with a table and a wood burning stove. There is a five gallon bucket of water on the floor that you want to boil. What do you do?
Most buckets I've ever seen are either plastic or wood. I'd be hesitant about putting either of those on a stove unless you want melted plastic or burnt wood, and a lot of cold water on the floor.

Pick the bucket up and set it on the stove.

Remember, before reading the next question, The easiest way to answer a problem in Math is to make the problem look like a problem you already know the answer to:

You are in the same room, with only a table, a wood burning stove, and a five gallon bucket of water that you want to boil sitting on the table. What do you do?

Set the bucket on the floor.

That was the whole test. Did you graduate?
The first one was obvious (if you assume the bucket is metal), but the second one doesn't make any sense. How do you expect to boil the water on the floor? That is still the objective, right?

I got the last 3, because I got your drift of what your asking, in hindsight the answers should have been at the end of the quiz rather than the end of every question

Think about it for the second one try reading the answer then re-reading the first question-notice anything?

I think these jokes are rather stupid. Firstly a giraffe would not fit in a refrigerator.
Plus the question doesn't say you are using the same refrigerator for the second question. The third question makes the assumption the elephant is unable to leave the refrigerator. There are so many ways to do the 4th question it is invalid.

I know they are just joke questions but for them to be funny they would have to make sense unless you are amused b such things (I am not).
I guess I'm jus grumpy because I failed.

No? Do you mean that the objective of boiling the water has changed to putting the room in the same condition as the first question? Because that doesn't make any sense.
