1. How do you put a giraffe in a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: You open the refrigerator door, put the giraffe in, then close the door. This question tests whether you do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, 'open the door, put in the elephant, and close the door?
Wrong answer.....

3. The Lion King is hosting an anilmal conference. All the animals attend.... except one. Which one?
Correct answer: The elephant. He's in the refrigerator, you just put him in there remember? This tests your memory. If you got this one correct, congrats, if not you have one more chance......
4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all the questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several questions correct. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
