ESL Quiz for you

Do yourself a favor, read the below questions and think of YOUR OWN answer prior to looking at the correct answer. Be truthful now. Then once done, vote on the poll to see the results of the general consensus.

Apologies to those who have already seen this quiz.

--------------------------------------

Q1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Correct
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.

Q2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Wrong
Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator.

Correct
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.

Q3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct
The Elephant, since it is still in the refrigerator.

This tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first 3 questions correctly, you still have 1 more chance to show your true abilities.

Q4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

Correct
You swim across. 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 4 year old.
