It's a very short test, but I didn't get one right

I got them all wrong too. Good quiz though.

3 outta 4 but seen something similar before, got the last one wrong

So I was really cheating

Blocked by my company's IT systems, but is it one of those 'if you're in a race and overtake the person in 2nd...' type jobs?

Poorly phrased questions and some dodgy logic between questions 3 and 4.

I've just tried this in one of my lessons. Some of the kids got more right than I did

so they got extra homework

That's the actual link perhaps that may work.

I got 4 out of 4 does that make me an idiot?!

In my defence SOTWA it was a while ago (yesterday!)

That's the worst one of those I have ever seen. Even AmericanTrotter couldn't fit a giraffe in his American refrigerator.

Thanks Mummy! Although my fridge isnt very large by American standards I know it must be bigger than most in England.

Stupid questions, no wonder pre-schoolers score well. Details like how much a fridge can hold dont slow them down!

And we wonder at the mentality of today's kids. With adults asking them questions like these, God help em.

And what effect would placing the Giraffe in the fridge have? I'm willing to bet it couldn't attend the meeting either, because it was suffering from hypothermia.

My river had a bridge btw, so I didn't need to swim across.

I used a frozen solid giraffe as a bridge. I did get the first one correct

(assuming it was a baby giraffe) but, not realizing the questions were linked, got the rest wrong (thank God).

iambored.com or whatever the original link was is banned by my work. Obviously they don't see Bolton Wanderers as a threat to my productivity. Fools.

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

If it's inhabited by crocodiles, how can they be at the conference?

Many a workplace makes this mistake.
