Fun answers! But would the fridge float?

My answers:
How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

A: Bend it’s neck, get a newborn, don’t close the door. The fridge could be bigger than the giraffe.

How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

A: Put the elephant in the fridge. This is a different fridge; it’s wider to fit an elephant.

The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All of the animals attend, except for one. Which animal does not attend?

A: Scar.

You need to cross a river but it is inhabited by crocodiles. You don’t have a boat but you do have a refrigerator. What should you do?

A: Ride in the refrigerator across. There’s crocodiles in the water. “Inhabited” means there’s crocodiles in the water right now.

My brain wouldn’t tie the next question to the last one. Each one is a different scenario.

These are excellent questions to determine job suitability, they clearly determine that the HR manager was not suitable for their job. The only possible use of these is to test a candidates ability to speak against authority, with extra points for anyone who refuses to answer before the series has ended.

That notwithstanding, the HR manager has the wrong answers :-

1) Why assume the refrigerator is closed? Given the question seems to assume there is a giraffe in the vicinity of a refrigerator, it is presumably either dead or sedated and that you have giraffe-lifting superpowers, assuming the refrigerator is open seems a small step by comparison. Additionally, why the unnecessary step of closing the refrigerator, that was not required by the question and would seem unfair to the giraffe as it would probably suffocate before the sedation wore off.

2) Why assume there is not room for both the giraffe and the elephant in the refrigerator ? We have already thrown relative sizing out of the window by assuming that a giraffe can fit in, so why are we now assuming that we are dealing the only exactly-giraffe-sized refrigerator in the world. Much simpler to assume that the elephant can fit in there too. It also give the giraffe some company. In addition, you don’t need to open the refrigerator because as we saw in question 1 the logical thing is for it to be already open.

3) As an entry-level criteria, I expect job candidates to know that lions don’t host conferences, if they don’t then probably some testing for illicit substances would be in order

4) Unfortunately, the HR manager is dead. He or she jumps in and tries to swim across but given LIONS DON’T HOST CONFERENCES, the crocodiles are all there and promptly eat him or her. One of the main reasons I expect candidates to know that lions don’t host conferences is to avoid exactly this situation.
