Someone sent me this little "professional" test.  Judging from the
conversations last week about professional collector vs private collector;
everyone could learn something here.

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and
tells whether you are qualified to be "professional."

Scroll down for each answer.
The questions are not that difficult.


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
















CORRECT ANSWER: Open the refrigerator, put the giraffe in the refrigerator,
and close the door.

This tested whether you tend to do simple things in an
overly complicated way.


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


















WRONG ANSWER:  Open the refrigerator, put the elephant in the refrigerator,
and and close the refrigerator.

CORRECT ANSWER:  Open the refrigerator, take the giraffe out of the
refrigerator, put the elephant in the refrigerator and close the door.

This tested your ability to think through the repercussions of your 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 tested your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions
correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.




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













CORRECT ANSWER:  You swim across.  All the crocodiles are attending the
Animal Conference.

This tested whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals
they tested got all questions wrong.  But many preschoolers got several
correct answers.
