Subject: A Test For Professionals

Written By: CatwomanofV on 08/13/08 at 12:03 pm

I was going through the archives and found this thread that I posted a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. I thought it would be interesting to repost it.


A short quiz. Good Luck...

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. Try not to look
at the answers below until you have thought about it awhile.


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.


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 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.

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


I was looking at the spelling and said "You drop an F"
obviously wrong! lol




2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

I said "you don't"




3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend

except one. Which animal does not attend?


I said "The Lion King because he is hosting, not attending"





4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles.
How do you manage it?


I said "Take the elephant out of the fridge and ride it across"


I failed miserably!!!

^ better than my answers.  The first two I decided that you should hack up the giraffe and elephant to fit them in. :P  The third one I said the giraffe and elephant because they're dead, and the last one I decided to beat the crap out of the crocs before I swam across.

Hahaha!
But going off of what you did to the giraffe and elephant.... why not feed the hacked bits to the crocs so they will leave you alone?


karma cause I almost pee'd my pants laughing at "hack up the giraffe and elephant to fit them in" ;D ;D ;D
