These sorts of questions are psychological, not logical. They require the person being asked to make the same assumptions about the ambiguities and open questions as the person asking.

As such, they have nothing to do with reasoning ability. The "correct" answer is often completely wrong, like the claim that access hole covers are round "so they don't fall in", which misses the important point entirely. A circle is the minimum size cover that can't be dropped into the hole it covers. Make the cover twice as big as the hole and you have no problem. It is only under the common but special case of resource constraints that round covers are compelling.

There was also that ridiculous one about "how do you put an elephant in a refrigerator" where the "correct" answer depended on not knowing the difference between the definite and indefinite articles. The next question was "How do you put a giraffe in a refrigerator" and the "correct" answer was "You open the refrigerator, take out the elephant, and put in the giraffe". No one who was actually conversant with English could pass the test.
