We did this in some silly seminar. I think it's been around, but it's cute enough to post again. I'll put the answers in another thread.

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions. The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Answer:

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Answer:

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
Answer:

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
Answer:

The story is that Anderson Consulting uses this and management always gets it wrong. Four year olds tend to do better. I think that's a myth, but like I said, it's a cute variation on elephant jokes.

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions. The questions are not that difficult.
