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. How do you manage it? _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)
Cross it because the crocodiles are in the lion's conference? Rui A. Rebelo I don't smoke, don't gamble, don't sniff, don't drink and don't womanize. My only defect is that I lie just a little bit, sometimes. Tim Maia (brazilian pop singer)

Question #2: The Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. The 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 actions. 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference; all the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend? _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

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

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 #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.

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.

And if you do that, probably you can also fit in the elephant without taking out the giraffe. :->

hmm that's hard one! I'd say that Lion doesn't attend, because he is hosting (?) But dictionary.com says "to attend" means "to be present"... which he probably is. :confused: Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)

Make either the refrigerator big enough, or the giraffe small enough. Consult customer first though. :)
