Default The banana test

The Banana Test

There is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals, a Lion, a Chimpanzee, a Giraffe, and a Squirrel, who pass by.
They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree.

Who do you guess will win?

Your answer will reflect your personality.

So think carefully . . . Try and answer within 30 seconds

Got your answer?

Now scroll down to see the analysis.














If your answer is:


Lion = you're dull.


Chimpanzee = you're a moron.


Giraffe = you're a complete idiot.


Squirrel = you're just hopelessly stupid.



A COCONUT TREE DOESN'T HAVE BANANAS

I realised that it was a trick question, I guess that in most cases the brain tries to find an answer without analysing the question.

It reminds me of another question: How many penguins do polar bears eat everyday?

Default Bath tub test

The Bathtub Test
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started...During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

See, I got the coconut tree thing, but the bathtub stumped me

I was feeling smug until then.

Correct Seahorse - well done.

I love the question.

So many people actually try and work it out. When I asked someone once they started to estimate how much a penguin weighs and how much a polar bear would therefore consume!

Default Shopping

Shopping

Husband & Wife are shopping and the man picks up a crate of stella and puts it in his trolley.
"What do you think you are doing?" asks the wife. "They are on offer, only £10 for 24 cans " he says ."Put them back, we cant afford them "says the wife and they carry on shopping.

A few aisles later the woman picks up a £20 jar of face cream and sticks it in the trolley.
"What do you think you are doing?" asks the man "Its my face cream,it makes me look beautiful," she says.

The man replies "so does 24 cans of stella and its half the price."
