Quiz 2

Test your reasoning skills against some of the top professional minds from around the world.

Question #1: How do you put a giraffe in a fridge?

Correct answer: Open the fridge, put the giraffe in, and close the door.

This question was a test of whether or not you have a tendency to do simple things in a needlessly complicated way.

Question #2: How do you put an elephant in a fridge?

Incorrect answer: Open the fridge, put the elephant in, and close the fridge.

Correct answer: Open the fridge, take the giraffe out, put the elephant in, and close the fridge.

This question was a test of your ability to understand the consequences of your actions (i.e. the giraffe filling the fridge, and therefore having to be removed before the elephant could be put in).

Question #3: The Lion, King of the animals, has called a conference of animals. All the animals are expected to attend. Which animal will not be attending?

Correct answer: The elephant.

Why? The elephant is still in the fridge.

This question was a test of your memory.

Question #4: There is a river which you have to cross. However, the waters are crocodile infested. How will you cross?

Correct answer: Swim across.

Why? The crocodiles are at the animal conference.

This question was a test of your ability to learn from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, approximately 90% of professionals tested answered all the questions incorrectly.

However, most of the children below school age answered at least some of the questions correctly.

Anderson Consulting disputes the logical conclusion from this information that the ideal profession would have the mental age of a 4-year-old child.
