You will be asked four questions and you must rely on your common sense to answer them correctly.
a. How do you put a giraffe in the refrigerator?
Correct answer: 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.
b. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Wrong answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the door.
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.
c. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which one does not attend?
Correct answer: The elephant since it is still in the refrigerator.
This tests your memory.
Even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to prove your abilities.
d. There is a river you must cross, but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
Correct answer:
You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the conference.
This questions determines whether you quickly learn from your mistakes.
Isn't this a cute quiz. How many questions out of the four did you get right. My score was 0!!!!!!!!!!!

He he he! I got four out of four, but was it through intelligence and logical thinking, noooooooooooooo... it was because my son asked me these ages ago, and gave me the answers. I got every one wrong when he asked me. :)
Thank you for bringing them back. I think they're really quite cleverly thought out. Brightest Blessings.

Don't feel bad, if someone asks me in a month or two, I probably will have to think long and hard too.

I didn't get any of the four questions correct... i kept thinking of a difficult way to answer each... and i failed to think of the simple previous ones... maybe this is tell me that i tend to over think everything in my life... and that some aspects which i find difficult to solve may only need simple solutions...
Thanks for sharing this...

This Is a real cute quiz. My score was zero! I was laughing so hard I couldn't concentrate. Heres my riddle. . .
You are at a river, you have a wolf, a chicken, and a bag of grain. you want to get them all across intact, how will you do it?
Answer-
First you take the chicken across, and leave it on the otherside. Next, take the wolf across, leave him there, and bring the chicken back. Next, leave the chicken where you started, and take the grain across with the wolf. Finally, go back and get the chicken.

I got three of the four correct. I was thinking of a more complicated way to get across the river involving taking the elephant out of the refrigerator and using him to either scare the crocodiles away or just hopping up on his back and riding him across. Not a bad idea since I don't like walking and don't want to swim in a dirty river.

Thats really good that you got at least three right. Hurray for you. I surely can't brag the same. I feel pretty dumb.

I knew some of these back then, but have forgotten it already since it was a long time ago.
Truly, this is one funny quiz where you get to put your mind into thinking. It's like you are having an exam in a form of "abstract reasoning," as you have to pay attention to the question in hand.

As someone else pointed out, we all tend to overthink the answers, when they are just so simple.
