    Someone pulled this on me via phone last night... so my revenge is passing it on. I checked snopes to see if it is an urban legend, it just seems to fit the bill of one, but I can't find it. Anyhow urban legend or not, you get some fun answers as you are trying to out-think the quiz once you realize the direction it is going.... I am going to post one question at a time... you can look at all first, or try to answer, better yet, those of you with children, I would love to know what your children answer!! Thinking Quiz This short quiz from Andersen Consulting will help you understand your thinking style better. The questions aren't difficult and you can scroll down for the answers. 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

          Question #3 The Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator! This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly you can surely answer this one. 4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles.

                  Question #4: Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting! This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Andersen Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of four-year olds. Any one have any creative answers from their 4 year olds or themselves they'd be willing to share? especially the 4 year olds? I had #3 right, #2 as expected wrong, and for #4 I said "take the elephant out of the refridgerator and ride him across the river..." which I thought was a better answer than the correct one anyhow... because I wouldn't even get wet! _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                    The elephant. He's stuck in the 'fridge. Possibly also the giraffe, depending on the measures used to achieve a result for Question #1.

                      Use the bridge. If there is no bridge, create one from frozen carcases of elephant and giraffe.

                          Of course. This just goes to show that consulting companies care only that they can say they've achieved results, not whether or not those results were ideal for their customers.

                                  I've had giraffe steaks. They were actually pretty good. The benefits of having a hunter friend from Namibia. I used to get high on life until I realized that life was cut with morons - Unknown

                                      Someone pulled this on me via phone last night... so my revenge is passing it on. I checked snopes to see if it is an urban legend, it just seems to fit the bill of one, but I can't find it. Anyhow urban legend or not, you get some fun answers as you are trying to out-think the quiz once you realize the direction it is going.... I am going to post one question at a time... you can look at all first, or try to answer, better yet, those of you with children, I would love to know what your children answer!! Thinking Quiz This short quiz from Andersen Consulting will help you understand your thinking style better. The questions aren't difficult and you can scroll down for the answers. 1.

                                          Or you could just shove a tube of Freon up the giraffe's arse and it would act as its own fridge. :-> Jeremy Falcon
