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

Question #4

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.
