The concept of those questions ignores the proven fact that ~50% of the time ~50% of the population 'assume' the questions are unconnected and therefore there is no need to remove the giraffe from the fridge...
Then when you say that people should 'learn' from the first couple of questions and be prepared for the last couple it also ignores the fact that the human mind is conditioned for repetitiveness and (depending on whether the questionee connects the questions or not) the questionee falls into a pattern where verbally pointing out the questions are connected may not be enough to change their future responses.

Nice jokes but not reliable psychoanalyical studies ;)

Who put such a large fridge next to the river anyway?

It's not specfied that the fridge is anywhere near the river... nor the size of the fridge... its all based on assumptions... similar assumptions (pretty much Schroedingers Cat) can be used to prove that Master Chief is a furry :D

Well a small elephant just wouldnt be possible in nature. A normal elephant (even a baby one) is larger than a fridge so it must be a large fridge.

Also it is most highly likely that the fridge is situated by the river as the risk of the meeting ending would increase dramatically with travel time from the fridge. I would not want to risk my life on the assumption that it wasnt a 2 minute animal meeting.

So, not specified yes, however both facts can be derived since the advice in 4. breaks down as the fridge is moved further away from the river and the ability to put the elephant in the fridge is deminished to 0 as the size of the fridge approaches normal.

errr. you did AI, you used prolog, you programmed hypothetical, quantam, banana loving monkeys... 'Where' is the fridge? 'where' is the river? and 'where' is the meeting? I see no evidence that having the fridge and arbitrary distance from the river and/or meeting will adversely effect your chances of crossing safely...

What size constitutes a 'big' fridge? A bar fridge is astronomically huge from an ants frame of reference... a refridgerated container (to fit a 'standard' African Elephant at 4 metres high, 7.5 tons from wikipedia) would seem small in comparison to a giant... or a blue whale or soemthing else "largish" (by our standards).
