1. How do you put a giraffe in a refridgerator?
2. How do you put an elephant in a refridgerator?
3. There is an animal meeting. All the animals except one go. who wasn't at the meeting?
4. You need to cross a river, but crocodiles live in it, and you have to boat. how do you get across?
 
For a fact i took this test earlier this year and got all the questions wrong. Do you guys think you can do better?

I've seen this before ! Lol
1) you open the refridgerator door and put the giraffe in
2) you take out the giraffe and put in the elephant
3) the elephant is not at the meeting because he is in the
refrigerator
4) you can just swim across because the crocodiles are at the meeting

Correctimundo! A+, perfect score, you get the idea. GOOD JOB!

The majority of scholars who took this quiz for the first time failed, while the majority of four to five year olds passed the same quiz. I always find it interesting ways how people usually find overcomplicated ways to do simple things. (I was planning to try to stump Mr. Lima with this, but I think I'm going to have to find something harder :{D )

Wow...I would have never ever gotten that right o.o
That is really smart though...But what if I have an industrial sized
fridge and I can fit both the giraffe and the elephant in there!?
Then you can't cross the river cuz the one animal missing must be a
crocodile!

Thats a really good point Kristina :) i remember this quiz when i was smaller and geting all of them wrong. The quiz is just thinking outside the box, but its super funny to hear what people say.

Many scholars have "Supposedly" taken this test and all failed,while toddlers taking the same test passed with perfect scores. Basically, its to see if someone overthinks a simple situation. I remember i was like: "I use a shrink ray to shrink the animals/ a growth ray to make the refridgerator huge" LOL :{B
