From: The state of euphoria
So one of my coworkers sent this to me at work and thought i would share the torture and joy of just how stupid we can be sometimes. and although i have seen it before i still think it will make it a more interesting day
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether
you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer. The
questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down to see the answer UNTIL you have answered the question!
> 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.

Hmm, interesting.
I do have some things to say about this quiz, but then I would be arguing with a four year old, and we all know that I wouldn't get anywhere.
But just for your information. I gave several answers to each question because the questions were very vague. Total, I got 1 1/2. I say 1/2 because in the last question I was assuming that because a human was technically an animal too, you would be at the animal meeting. If you were crossing the river, you would not be at meeting any more, so neither would the crocodiles. So I took the elephant out of the refrigerator, used it as bait to lure the crocs away, then swam across. :D
Oh, and you don't have an option for "0" on the number of answers you got right.
