A quiz in 4 parts (4)

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by 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.

    I got them right because I have the brains of a four year old and have also done this test years ago as part of an experiment to put in place a different type of interview. It also had ‘the blot’ question. As I could not see anything else but ‘blots’ I failed.
