| [slm] 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. 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. 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator. (Wrong Answer) Correct Answer: 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. 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend? Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities. 4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: 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 four year old. |

| Assalaamu alaikum, I got the last two right. For the second, I thought, open the door, put the elephant in, close the door. Why should we assume that the refrigerator has a limited capacity; it held a giraffe, why not both giraffe and elephant? But I think I have seen this quiz before... and still I couldn't get all right! The explanation for the first question describes me well :) Wasalaam. |

| assalaamu alaikum I've thought about this in my spare time - what if the refrigerator can hold an elephant and giraffe both at the same time? That means there are two right answers. Kashif Wa Salaam |

| Assalaamu alaikum, I believe the better answer is that both can fit into the refrigerator. The first question made the point that we shouldn't restrict our thinking by the typical (in this case a regular home refrigerator). My answer to the first question was like go to Yankari safari park (in Nigeria), corner giraffe, sedate, slaughter, cut up, ... :) So for the second question, continuing the same type of thnking, the refrigerator could be as big as the safari park! (giraffe and elephant experimenting life in Ohion winter :)) Wasalaam. |

| Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullah :-) *LOL* I only got the last answer right! I was like... errr.. aren't those crocs at that thing that Lion King is having? and yeah.. I thought the fridge would be big enough for both animals too. Too bad, Anderson Consulting is too narrow to think of that :D and errr... Don't forget to vote, you guys! Voting has it's priviledges ;) [size=6]"Last Edit:.." ==> ==> OFF![/size] Wassalam! :-) |

| [slm] The question is, could an elephant and giraffe peacefully co-exist in a refrigerator, or would the elephant/giraffe be intimidated by the other creature? |

| Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullah :) If the fridge is as big 50m x 50m, yes, they can co-exist. But you need ventilation, and some heat. They aren't arctic. The only way they can't co-exist is if the Lion King decides to step in there. You know... fresh meat. :P wassalam ;D |
