Well, apparently, there was a bunch of top lawyers and some 5 year olds that took this psychology test. One of the questions was, 'How do you put a giraffe in a fridge?'. All the 5 year olds got it right, only 40% of the lawyers did. The answer was, 'Open the fridge door and put him in'. Then another question, 'How do you put an elephant in a fridge?'. 20% of lawyers got this right. The answer was, 'Open the fridge, take out the giraffe and put the elephant in'.

Exactly. You can't say you would open the fridge door and put him in, because A) you can't pick up a freaking elephant or giraffe, and B) it wont fit and C) the giraffe wont be used to the cold weather and it will die in the fridge

So what's the point of that test? If the test itself is wrong then the results are wrong too. w00t we are so intelligent!
