the girraffe test

[stephofthenight]

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


Stop and think about it and decide on your answer before you scroll down.










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.

seen this in different variations, still convinced the easiest way to get either the giraffe or elephant in the fridge is by putting it through a mincer first.



On a more serious note: This also tests the ability of people to analyse problems and forsee obstacles which may arise. Hence why children give the answer wanted by the questioner, and adults - particularly those with a technological/engineering/scientific background - are not going to give the prescribed answers. Problem analysis is a vital skill to learn.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I won't say how many of those I got wrong :p

[mtpspur]

I missed them all. My partner Bob knew this trick and the long suffering wife got the third one.

[johann cruyff]

I also got the third one:blush:

To be honest,my initial thought for the first question was that I'd have to build a very big refrigerator:D

This is one of those things that I always hear and go "Okay, I'm going to remember this for next time so I look smart" and then the next time I hear it... I've completely forgotten!! :lol:

But putting a giraffe in a refrigerator isn't a simple task!!!!

Oh my..that's what i thought more or less..i thought that i'd cut the giraffe into pieces (what's wrong with me?) :lol:

[AimusSage]

The most important bit of it all? Why put the giraffe in the fridge in the first place? I am fairly certain it would taste better when barbecued without having first been put it in the fridge. :D

[stephofthenight]

haha yeah i missed all three.
i still dont see why they wanted to put a giraffe in the fridge knowing its a safari animal. same to the elephant. and why not just walk over a bridge?
