Okay, you can blame Dennis for starting this. Here's another one to test your problem-solving skills (no math this time) ... remember to answer the question before scrolling down.

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 door"? 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, he's still in the refrigerator -- you just put him 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 inhabited 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 the questions wrong, but a many pre-schoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

 

Heh heh ... got me. It must be getting late and time for me to go watch and old Quantum Leap on Sci Fi.

 

I got the last 2 right, wonder what that means. . . .

 

I got two right, exept for the last one, I floated across the river in the refrigerator. After removing the elephant.

 

In actual fact, the questions are flawed. There is no one correct answer. For example, The average giraffe wouldn't fit into the refrigerator whole. Perhaps there would be some chopping or blending involved to make it fit. If this were the case, then some more blending (with the elephant this time) would allow both the elephant and the giraffe to fit into the refrigerator.

As for crossing the river, no one said there wasn't a bridge.... perhaps we could use a bridge. I liked the idea of using the fridge to cross the river too.

Conclusion:
This is my messed up way of justifying the fact that I got none right too

 

Even if you transform the giraffe into juices it won't fit because anything that's not gas is incompressible (hydraulic fluid).

 

I got them right! I am a can-do person! I would get the giraffe in somehow!

 

My answer for the first two was to chop them up, but I think thats cause I'm a little evil!

 

I got them all right. Only cuz I've seen this before. Here's one for you:


Eighty percent of Kindergartners solved this riddle, but only 5% of Stanford graduates figured it out! Can you answer the following question?

1. The word has seven letters...
2. Preceded God...
3. Greater than God...
4. More Evil than the devil...
5. All poor people have it...
6. Wealthy people need it...
7. If you eat it, you will die.

I hope it hasn't been on here yet.

If you know the answer don't blurt it out, let some others simmer on it for a while.

 

Hmmm... I looked at the giraffe through the wrong end of a telescope, picked him up with tweezers, and put him in. Plenty a room fer the elephant!!

 

david.brady,

i think i know but I'm gonna hold it in

 

Is the answer Nothing?

 

so am I ever gonna get to know the answer to this absurd ?...lol
I'm a retard, and I wouldn't be able to figure it out for the life of me, but not knowing it bugs the hell outa me!

 

Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What is the total?
















Answer: 5000? Wrong!
The correct answer is 4100

 

where do you get 5000 from?
