Paddy's Apptitude Test:
Paddy wanted to be an accountant, so he went for an aptitude test:
Tester: If I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
Paddy : SEVEN!
Tester : No, listen carefully again. If I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
Paddy : SEVEN!
Tester : Let's try this another way. If I give you two bottles of soda, and two bottles of soda, and another two bottles of soda, how many bottles of soda have you got?
Paddy : SIX.
Tester : Good! Now, if I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
Paddy : SEVEN!
Tester : How on Earth do you work out that three lots of two rabbits is seven?
Paddy : I've already got one rabbit at home now!
