JImbob & Maria- correct answers - 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.

Question 3)   The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend ... Except one.  Which animal does not attend?

                      


Answers please.  Question 4) will follow
