Correct Answer:
You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong.
But many preschoolers got several correct answers.
AndersonConsulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

At least I managed to get the last one right.

The questions are inherently flawed, though. They make bad assumptions.

For example, the second question IN NO WAY tells you that the refrigerator you are using is the SAME ONE that you used for the giraffe.

Also, you are not given the dimensions of the refrigerator or of the giraffe to even know if it would even be possible in the first place. (And you'd probably have to kill the giraffe by cutting him into little pieces/etc). Same for the elephant.

Also, the third question assumes the elephant does not escape from the oversized refrigerator (assuming you didn't kill him by chopping him up). It in no way tells you that he does not escape.

Question four in NO WAY tells you that it is even in the same imaginary universe as any of the previous questions. Therefore, any assumptions that it is are null and void and hence so is the question. The correct answer is NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION GIVEN. Are you in the Amazon? Do you have a raft? What time of day is it? etc... again, NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION!

Wow. *pets you*. No need to look so deep into some questions.

Haha, I had 'em all right, though that's cause I already knew about the first two. There's another way for the elephant, though it will only make sense when done in Dutch, so I can't explain.

I got none right

I've heard that before but I thought it was supposed to be a joke, not a real test...lol

IamA-BFG

^^ It HAS to be a joke or else the people who made this supposedly "mental capacity" test are complete and utter morons themselves who just so happen to think that they are not.

Notably, observe Exhibit A above (my previous post).

If you want to make an intelligence test or anything which purports to be one and you don't want to look like a fool, you HAVE to close off absolutely any and all loops/holes. Of course, those who aren't very intelligent to begin with probably won't even catch this/understand why the test is flawed.

If mathematical proofs were allowed to have as many open loops/holes as this extremely-flawed logic, why, there would be theorems that people fly and objects self-teleport at will and hands become feet spontaneously and animals can transform into other kinds of animals and blah blah blah

Complete bullshit

Dude. This isn't a courtroom.

Let me guess. You got none of them correct.



You spend way too much time analyzing jokes.

Relax and have a
