    The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional."
    Please slowly scroll down for each answer.

    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 King of the Forest 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.

    OK, 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 inhabited by
    crocodiles. How do you manage it?

















    Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending
    the animal conference. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

    Note: 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.

    My wife suggested removing the Elephant from the fridge, and riding it across the river, which would seem to mitigate that risk as well, ASM.. :D

    overly complicated?
    repercussions of previous actions?

    wtf.....

    more like the answer they expect is greatly unrealistic.

    if you have a refrigerator big enough for a giraffe, it's obviously big enough
    to also hold an elephant.

    Well, maybe it's a really tiny elephant and giraffe...

    I can think of nothing cooler than a 20 pound, 12" tall Elepant stampeding around my living room, along with a little 24" tall Giraffe trying to pluck leaves off the table centerpiece... :lol:
