Giraffe, elephant and the refrigerator



I received this through an e-mail and thought of sharing with my viewers. The following quiz comprises of 4 questions and your answers would show you whether you are qualified to be a professional. apparently very simple questions, but are really mind boggling and require common sense, nothing else.

Ready!! Here we go:-

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? Remember this question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. 

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.
