i got the last two once I realized what they were doing. It's pretty stupid though, most refrigerators won't be fit a giraffe normally, so you're have to improvise.

totally agree. you don't even know when beginning the test that each question is dependant on the others.

Right, and then for #3 you could say that the giraffe and elephant weren't there.


I definitely heard this like 5 years ago though.

Holy fuck, i hate this. My teacher says by the end of the of the semester he wants to teach us to be better critical thinkers( which is what this is) he just kind of gave us a quick test which was easy but i still fucked up. Like he just asked the questions out loud and asked people to answer out loud.

he said

what happens when you put toast in a toaster, nothing you dont put toast in a toaster( its already toasted)

what happens when you but bread in a toaster, nothing you didnt  push down the spring

what happens when you put bread in a toaster and push down the spring, nothing the toasters not plugged in.


and just shit like that, and i fucking hate it because i feel like a retard.

what the hell, that's not critical thinking. It could go on forever.

What happens when you put bread in the toaster, plug it in and push down the spring?

Nothing, because you're toaster is broken

What happens when you fix the toaster, put bread in, plug it in and push down the spring?

Nothing, there's a power outage

I know thats what i said, well all these fucking test have to many variables to take into account.

Like they never specified what size fridge it was which would lead a normal person to belive it would be an average sized fridge, taking into account that the firdge was big enough to hold a girafe it could probably hold an elephant aswell. The river with the corcodils might be big enough to jump across or there might be stones you could hope on.

and what happens when you fix the toaster, put the bread in, plug it in and push down the spring and make sure theres no power outage?

I like my answer, take the door off the fridge and use it as a boat to cross the river.

Same. At first i thought, fold him in half, like bend his neck. then i thought...what if the fridge has shelves and drawers, we'll need to chop him up.

Plus when you're younger, they teach you to really think things out.  Did you guys ever have a teacher who was like "im going to make a PB&J sandwhich, but you need to tell me the directions of how to do it" and she had all of the supplies in front of her and we're like "put peanut butter on the bread" and so she'd pick up the jar of peanut butter and place the jar on the bread. and the point was to be specific and think things out. like "reach for the jar of peanut butter, twist the lid until it comes off, pick up a knife in your other hand while still holding the jar of peanut butter..." etc.

i know. just shows how we get less and less innocent as we get older. I bet none of the preschoolers said to chop him up...and if they did, they'll probably end up serial killers.

how else are you going to fit a giraffe in a normal refrigerator? i think chopping him up is the only way

i had a college professor who assinged us that type of thing in a writing class.  then when we presented our "directions" to him, he pulled that shit.

 i asked him after class that if we were supposed to presume that our professor couldnt rationally follow reasonable directions without screwing up the simplest of tasks, how are we to trust his evaluation of us as students, something that is infinitely more complex than tying a shoe or making a sandwitch. he got really pissed at that.

the question never specifies what kind of giraffe it is! i think. what if its a little tiny toy action figure giraffe? or some metaphorical giraffe for someone with a long neck?

anyway if it is a real giraffe, you obviously have to shrink ray it first

I just said id break the girffes neck.

and another stupid thing i hate about these stupid fucking questions. How are we suposed to know that they are related to one another and not totally different scenarios that have nothing to do with the actions in the last scenario.
