  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 got several correct answers. Andersen
  Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most
  professionals have the brains of a four year old.
