Short Quiz

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 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 inhabited 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
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.

It would take Authur Anderson to concoct this piese of do-do:

1. Question 2 neither infers nor enforces that the elephant is to be put in the same refrigerator as the giraffe. The question asks "How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator," notice it says into "a" refrigerator in both questions.

Furthermore: "Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory."

To assume it is the same refrigerator is a question that would be native to most children, in that they are used to thinking of only one refrigerator. However, notice that the answer speaks of "the" refrigerator, again as opposed to "a" refrigerator in the question.

2. Question "4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by
crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? "

Alligators in the real world, which is what most adults think in terms of, cannot leave the water for more than a few hours at a time--their skins would dry out and they would die. Therefore the assumption that all crocodiles in all rivers world-wide are attending a cartoon conference is unthinkable. However, in the cartoon world that most children, and most lawyers, marketing researchers, and consultants, live in-- anything is possible.

One has to wonder, after all the tens of millions of dollars that Authur Anderson swindled out of it's customers (5,6 years ago was it?), one has to wonder where in the HELL!! did Arthur Anderosn get the money to waste on garbage like this.

Too bad one can not get these wizards of logic and reason to sit down and figure out how to write an IRS code that is understandable without hiring them to figure it out, and doesn't impoverish everything it touches.

Well, right, cartoon animal conferences and giraffes in a refirgerator just by "putting" them there.... right, I forgot.

Besides if you put an elephant in the refrigerator you'd definitely have foot tracks in the butter (giraffes, uhmmm, maybe not)--waste of food, if ya ask me.

:eek: :confused: :) :D :cool:

Donn,

Do you know what the term "overthinking" means??

Also, I didn't see any mention of Arthur Anderson.... Anderson Consulting Worldwide

[jabarnutcase]

How did you guys get this far???

I've been all over Ebay, Best buy, Sears...well, you name it.

I can't seem to locate a Refrigerator anywhere that will actually hold a Giraffe or an Elephant.

The suggestion Don makes that there may actually be TWO of these refrigerator's to be had, is totally mind boggling to me. :confused:

From Jiggy's post:

"According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, "

Ok, substitute Anderson Consulting World Wide for Arthur Anderson.

hey, wait a minute, I'm NOT the one that suggested you could put anything in anything, I'm just following the logic line from Jiggy's "questionaire."

No, I don't accept that following a logic line is overthinking; it's just following a logic line. Over-thinking belongs to the realms of juris prudence, marketing research, and psychology / psychiatry.

No, wait, I take that back--actually it's under-thinking.

:D :D :D :rolleyes: :cool:

Gracious, sounds to me like you are 'Maytag fixated.' I guess, then, the only remedy for you is. . .brain washing?
