Question 1:

complicated way.
Question 2:

Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, and close the
door.

your previous actions.
Question 3:
The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.
All the animals attend except one.
Which animal does not attend?
ANSWER:
The elephant.
EXPLANATION: The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him there. This question supposedly
tests your memory.
Question 4:
OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show
your true abilities. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage
it?
ANSWER:
You swim across.
EXPLANATION: All the crocodiles are attending the animal conference. This question
supposedly tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to a big consulting firm, 90%
of the professionals they tested got every question in this test wrong. Here's the kicker... when given
this same so called IQ test, many preschoolers get several answers right!
Do you have a
suggestion for this puzzle (e.g. something that should
be mentioned/clarified in the question or solution, bug, typo, etc.)?
