Try this out. I got zero out of 4.
No cheating. You must think carefully and answer the questions before you scroll down. Put on your thinking caps.
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
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.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, 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 trough
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 E lephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You
just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, 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 used by crocodiles, and
you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not
been listening? 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.

I took pictures of the giraffe and elephant and put them in the fridge. This changes the answers to question 3 and 4. That said, I did answer the last 2 correctly.
My issue is that they did not indicate the size of the fridge. This would determine if both animals could fit in the fridge at the same time or in fact fit in at all.

I got 4 cos I seen this before, and its proved to me beyond doubt why Andersens went bust. They demonstrate that they have pretentions at intelligence, but actually they are bewildered and confused by anything approaching logic:
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend?
4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
1) Simple question, but has the implicit assumption of a giraffe sized fridge.
2) Simple question, stupid fkn answer. For at least 3 crashingly obvious reasons:
Read question 1 again...
a) It says 'how do you do it' It does not say now go and do it. There is no reason whatsoever to assume that u have actually done it.
b) It says 'a giraffe' not 'the giraffe' it is an indefinite clause referring to no physical animal, there is no fkn giraffe.
c) it says 'a fridge' not 'the fridge' see above, there is no fkn fridge.
2) It gets more fkn stupid, same question as before.
a,b,c, The same elementary basic linguistic and comprehension mistakes as in 1)
d) But now we can add an extra level of Andersens 'pseudo smart' Both 1 and 2 refer to 'a fridge' this is as I said an indefinite clause, and does not refer to any individual fridge. Therefore there is not a single reason to assume we are talking about the SAME fridge.
e) As Fulrach pointed out, my fridge is big enuff for an elephant and a giraffe!
3) Unanswerable question
a) There is no Lion King, so we can assume a hypothetical world, we dont know what animals are in it, we cant possibly decide
b) see 1) a,b,c. There is no fridge with a giraffe in it
c) see 2) a,b,c. There is no fridge with an elephant in it.
d) There is no reason to assume our hypothetical fridges/elephants/giraffes are in this same hypothetical world.
And thats just for starters.
The guy who wrote those questions, was a 'wannabe' but failed intellectual a 'wannabe' but failed logician and a 'wannabe' but failed philosopher, and as such, a perfect Andersens Consulting employee.

Much anger I sense in you my son. You got them all wrong the first time didn't you? 
And yeah, funny quiz, but the person who wrote it needs to be beaten with the smart stick. Making a test you can only reasonably pass if you have concept of logic or linguistic skills = win!

Got the 2 last correct, when I realised the idea of the test. I still say, chop up the giraf and the elephant. Square parts fit better than round parts.
First get yourself a fridge.
1. Now my fridge will only hold the giraffe if its minced and packed into 1kg cubes. Therefore, I mince the giraffe up.
2. Same with the elephant. Luckily the giraffe only filled enough space for the entire elephant in its little 1kg cubes of mince could be stored.
3. I'm assuming the elephant and the giraffe weren't the last of their species. If they were I would never have made mince meat out of them. Guess other elephants and giraffes will attend the conference with this so called mythical Lion King.
4. There's no bloody way I'm swimming across a river full of crocodiles even if they are supposedly at some mythical Lion King's conference. I know how I will do it! Toss quite a few cubes of minced up elephant and giraffe 50 metres upstream and downstream then swim like the clappers.
