joke quiz of the day....

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. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

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.

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 elephant, who is still in the fridge, no doubt couldn't attend. BW

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!!

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. :)

Hang up the phone. The only thing worse than a fool asking a foolish question is a fool answering a foolish question. You still get a "five" from me for its amusing aspects.

hey, I got one right. :) and I think I should get points for the 2nd answer, which was correct but not what was in the book. ;) I argued that with my prof in college and won, I think the same applies. :)

I am sending it home with one of the guys who has a 4 year old... I may take it over to the engineering admin asst and see if she will ask her son. I don't believe the kids will be any less right or wrong, I think it will be random because of the type of questions. But I have been wrong before. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)
