Test of your intelligence

[Tom]

A test of your intelligence


This is a test for Smart People.....I have determined that you qualify -
just.



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. But
don't scroll down UNTIL after you have answered the question!

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.

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 conference.
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 pre-school
aged children got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says
this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the
brains of a four-year-old.

Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.

PS: Just the fact that I sent it to you should make you feel good!!

Clearly it would have to be a pretty big fridge! :roll:

Personally I'd throw in the elephant to feed any crocodiles (just in case) as it's not at the conference.

 

[Mojo]

Hang on. Why do multiple crocodiles attend the conference, but only one elephant can attend?

 

[Coxster]

Clearly it would have to be a pretty big fridge! :roll:

That's why I cut the giraffe into small pieces

Hang on. Why do multiple crocodiles attend the conference, but only one elephant can attend?

It seems to me that Tom is in support of animal discrimination. It makes me sick, it really does

Thats good

 

[kettlefan]

I hate tests like that! I never get them, which must mean I have the mental age of a 4 year old!

Q: You have heavy luggage.
How do you get from Epping to Heathrow without using any footbridges or subways?



























A: Call a cab :P

 

[The Snap]

Quite good those Cairns...

Now take the quiz and apply one extra bit of information, all the animals are managed by NR.
The Giraffe will object to being put in the fridge and go sick
The fridge still needs filling, so the Elephant gets put in instead
Half the animal kingdom don't attend the meeting as a middle manager forgets to tell them about it. 1/4 are on leave, 1/8 have already left base for the day when the message comes through informing them of the meeting, 1/32 go to the wrong location, 1/16 can't get transport to the meeting and the final 1/16 attend the meeting only to find that 99.9% of it's content doesn't apply to them
Not all the crocodile population attend as some are part of a union that advises it shouldn't particapate until it has held a meeting with the Lions about the content and checked for hidden agendas

Think question 2 is a little unfair, since it asks how you put an Elephant in *A* refrigerator, and doesn't specify it's the same one as the Giraffe is in. Also, if the refrigerator is big enough to get a Giraffe or an Elephant in, it might be big enough to get both in.

 

[Death]

Hail All!
I managed to solve these problems in a very simple way...









There is nothing whatsoever in the questions to suggest that the animals are full-size, living animals, so I did my mental simulation on the assumption that they were toy ones!

Not exactly thinking outside the box, but a loophole nonetheless!

P.S: TheSlash just came up with the best description of Network Fail policy that I have heard yet!
