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.

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.

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!
