I came across this test the other day. I understand it is designed to test your thinking and reasoning ability. I thought you all might like to give it a try.
1. How do you put a giraffe in the refrigerator?
2. How do you put an elephant in the refrigerator?
3. Since the lion is the king of the animals and they follow his command, which animal didn’t show up at the party that he ordered them all to attend?
4. You are traveling in Africa and you come to a river filled with crocodiles, you have no boat and the bridge is out. How will you cross without being eaten by the crocs?
I was told that this test was given to executives at Fortune 500 companies and to preschool children. And that some executives didn’t get any right answers and some preschoolers got most to the answers.
After you post your responses, I will put up the correct answers and you can see if you are executive or preschool material.

1. VERY CAREFULLY, SO YOU DON’T BEND THE SHELVES.
2. IT DEPENDS IF IT IS GOING IN THE SAME REFRIGERATOR AS THE GIRAFFE.
3. THE ONE HE JUST HAD FOR LUNCH.
4. FIRST YOU OPEN YOUR “MACGYVER” BAG. SEE IF YOU BROUGHT YOUR CROCODILE SUIT IF SO PUT IT ON AND START SWIMMING. IF NOT CHECK FOR YOUR ROTTED TREE LIMB COSTUME AND DO THE SAME. IF ALL ELSE FAILS YOUR WONDER WOMAN/SUPERMAN COSTUME WITH THE INVISIABLE BUTTON WILL WORK.

Some of your answers are very close to the one’s given by the “experts”. Actually your answer to the third question may be better than theirs.
WHERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS? OR DO YOU ALREADY KNOW THE REAL ANSWERS??
Gary won’t tell me the answers so I will try and answer shortly when I get a break from work.
IN REFRENCE TO #4 HOW DID I GET TO AFRICA?
Imagination
HOW ABOUT I WALK AROUND THE RIVER ESPECIALLY IF MY SUPER POWERS DONT WORK. I MAY BE OUT OF RANGE. OR DRIVE I MAY HAVE A CAR. THEN AGAIN IF IT IS IMAGINATION I CAN PRETEND I AM PETER PAN —–“I CAN FLY”
so this is how I got to Africa….imagination….hummmm….as for 4. then I can say all the crocs were plastic and I walked across them to the other side without being eaten because plastic crocs dont eat….or the crocodile hunter was busy wrestling them while I ran across…or I could wait for chicken farmer while she figured the way across and go with her and needles…dj
executive or preschool?

1. You can’t, his neck and legs are too long! And who has a giraffe, anyway?
2. You can’t, he won’t fit either, unless he goes on a diet for years!! Gary, do you have one for sale?
3. My guess would be the lioness, because he wouldn’t stay up late talking to her.
4. You won’t…… unless Steve is around!

I’d have to call Chickenfarmer to see if she could bring her knowledge and skill to come build a bridge. If not, then I guess I’d be staying on that side of the river.
that chickenfarmer is a lot like Quick Draw Mcgraw with a lot of ideas so the two of you together can figure out all the answers just like BaBa Looie and Quick Draw does and then we can all have the answers…dj
1) open door and put him in
2) take off the door
3)the one that is in the refrig
4)You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the animal meeting.
1. You dont put giraffes in a refrigerator
2. You dont put elephants in a refrigerator
3. they all showed up, because he’s the king and they follow him
4. OK Im the one traveling in Africa(lions and tigers and bears, gators and crocs OH MY)in that case it would be in a plane to begin with, so Id get to cross in a plane…..or swing over with TARZAN the ape man..dj
since my name is Dorothy I could click my ruby slippers together 3 times and get across the river..no problem….dj
My attempts
#1. I don’t
#2. I don’t do that either.
#3. the ‘party pooper’
#4. I won’t cross.I will turn around.
I see that I have you thinking and using your imagination. Your river crossing ideas get better everyday. If you keep going you can just call Moses and he’ll open the waters and you can walk through on dry land. I’ll let you know the “experts” answers in a day or two. Then you can tell me what you think about their answers. By the way, I haven’t given Sara any answers.
#1-2 According to my son,Noah who is seven years old,informed me that it impossible to put a giraffe or an elephant in the refrigertor. He proved this by crawling in my refrigerator. After he crawled out he looked at me and said I told you. Giraffes and elephants are alot bigger than me and I can’t fit in the refrigerator.
#3 The king’s wife could not come to the party. She’s home with the kids.
#4 I’d simply build a bridge.
Nathaniels answers:
1. “You shoot him and then ball him up”
2.”Kick him in the butt, tackle him, shoot him, then stab him 150times, then
you flatten him up, and then put him in the refrigerator.”
3.”a mouse”…”because a lion will eat them”
4.”You call someone in a plane to come get you”
Now, what do you think of their answers? This one is a little
descriptive,huh?
Nicholas’ answers:
1. “You cut him up”
2.”You cut him up”
3.”A guinea pig” I asked why and he said,”because he isn’t in the wild”
4. “If you had a chain saw, you could cut it down, and then cross.”
Cute,huh?
