?The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are
qualified to be a genealogist. Scroll down for each answer.
The questions are not that difficult. By the way, many four-year olds
correctly answered some of
the questions.
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close
the door.
This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly
complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Hint: Wrong Answer,: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close
the refrigerator.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the
elephant and close
the door.
This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your
actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend
except one.
Which animal does not attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator.
This tests your memory.
OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you
still have one more chance
to show your abilities. Now think clearly...
4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How
do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the
Animal Meeting.
This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the genealogists
they tested
got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct
answers. Andersen
Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most
attorneys have the
brains of a four year old.
(Pass this on to frustrate all of your friends. And please don't ask how
we did on the test.)
Ron and all.
I just saw a promo for a upcoming PBS program on "Lost Bird" the Indian baby
that was adopted by Gen. Colby after Wounded Knee.
Keep an eye out for the program when it is scheduled so that we can watch
it.
