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 professionals
they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers gotseveral
correct
answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory
that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
