Cath Laughs

Thanks to Andrea Davis, Washington, D.C. for the following "Cath Laughs."
December 2002
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? 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 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. This tests your memory. It’s okay. Even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true ability. 4. There is a river you must cross. It is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it? Correct answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Conference. 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 tested got several correct answers. Draw your own conclusions!
