The Giraffe Test

Hey guys! I recently received an email called "The Giraffe Test"... and I failed miserably at it!! See if you don't.....

How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Stop and think about the answer before you scroll down














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.






How do you put an elephant in a refrigerator?



Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the door?

Wrong answer.

The correct answer is:
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 previous actions.





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. You just put him in there.
This tests your memory.







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 in the river and swim across. Have you not been listening?
All the crocodiles are at the Animal Meeting.
This tests whether you are quick to learn from your mistakes.



According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several answers correct.

Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

How to Play 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (we'll just call it 1, 2, ........ 10.) is a game that you need at least 10 players to play. Somebody starts by saying either 1 OR 1, 2. You can say either 1 or 2 numbers. The next player says 2 or 3, depending on what player 1 said, and so on. The person who is stuck saying 10 sits down. Then the person next to him (or her) starts over and the game continues. Try going fast to make it even more fun and exciting....Here's an example:

Player 1 says, "1, 2"

Player 2 says, "3"

Player 3 says, "4, 5"

Player 4 says, "6, 7"

Player 5 says, "8, 9"

Player 6 then is out, and Player 7 starts over.

Have fun playing this game and, Mr. Wuest's class, keep playing it to keep the tradition up!

How to Play 102

102 is a fun card game that 2-4 players can play.

Materials:
*a deck of cards (with jokers)
and if you want to be competitive, *a sheet of paper and a pen (to keep track of the score)

The main goal is to get the 10, Jack, Queen, Ace, and King of one suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades). Jack, Joker, Queen, 10 and King are all worth 10 points. Ace is worth 11, and if you get all 5 cards in your hand, your score is doubled to 102. (Remember, they all have to be the same suit)

1. Players draw cards until they have five cards in their hands. (You have to decide which suit you want to do) Player one draws a card.

2. If that card matches the suit that player one is looking for, they keep it and exchange it for a card that they don't want.

3. Once five players have put down cards, the fifth player gets to exchange either one or five cards from the pile (Remember that players put down cards to exchange for a card that they want, so all of the unwanted cards start piling up. At your turn, if the pile has five cards in it, you can exchange one or five cards. Not two, not four, one or five.) If you don't want any of the five, you just push the pile aside and draw. If you get a card, the next player can get a card, too, etc.

4. If you get the full set, wait until it's your turn, then put all the cards down. You win!

Strategies:

You don't have to get the full set. The earlier you put down your cards (remember yet again, they have to be the same suit!), the more likely you'll win because the other players probably won't even have all of their cards matching yet.

Sometimes, some other player will be looking for the same suit as you. Watch what they throw out, and, if they aren't throwing out the suit that you want, you might want to switch suits. Be careful what you switch to, though, because the "unwanted" pile could have the ace that you need. Without the ace, you cannot get 102.

Origami Crane


This crane is simple, yet so entertaining! All you need is a square sheet of paper. The finished model is above.

1. Take the paper and rotate it so that it’s a diamond facing you.


2. Fold the top down and unfold. Do the same thing horizontally.


3. You should now have a giant “X” in your sheet.

4. Flip the paper over to the other side and fold down horizontally.


5. Unfold.


6. Fold the paper vertically.



7. Take the corners and push them together. It should look like the picture below.



8. Flatten the whole thing.



9. Take the right edge and line it up with the crease in the middle(top layer only!). Do the same with the left.



10. Flip it around, do the same thing on the other side, and fold the tip as far down as you can without folding past the flaps you just made.



11. Take the flaps out from under the tip (they’ll have 2 layers) and lift the top layer.







12. Bring the tip of the diamond as far back as it will go and flatten. Do the same for the opposite side.





13. a. Fold the left top layer over to the right, b. fold the bottom layer up, and c. fold the tip down to make the beak.


14. Fold the right layer back to the left. This time, fold two layers over and repeat step 13 b.
15. Fold the left layer back to the right, pull out the head and tail, and finally, pinch the base of the crane’s neck and pull the tail. Voila! If it doesn’t flap, fold the wings down once and fold them back up to kind of loosen them, and it’ll be ready to go and flap at your will!!!!!!!!
