    Well that's the point. How do you know the size of the fridge? It also says "a" fridge not "the" fridge emplying more than 1 fridge. Also, it doesnt state how long the conference is going on for, the crocs could be back. If the fridge is huge, how does just 1 person open it?

    There's logic, then there's actual PRACTICALITY.
    I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!

    I got them right. well not the last. By the way. "A" means singular also if it means more than one (which it doesnt) how can you stick a giraffe into more than one while the door is closed. It does say in question 2 open the door implying it is closed.

    good point about the size of fridge though. also about if it is that huge how can only one person answer it

    maybe u have to chop it up into lots of smallish peices and give them to sainsburys to sell, so it ends up in lots of ppls fridges... but then how would they attend the conference.... HOW WOULD THEY ANYWAY!
