Youtube ^

This is an older video, by a couple years but it is amazing to watch. The experiment pits Japanese researchers vs chimps in a memory experiment.

I guess those chimps REALLY do want those peanuts. I guess if you were to give me a memory test with the prize being a date with Milla Jovovich-- I would certainly "do my best". My fingers would be flying faster than the monkey.

Call me when the chimp can read the morning newspaper.

Call me when the chimp can play the famous climate numbers game HIDE THE DECLINE.

Call me when the chimp can read the morning newspaper.

Have you not seen "Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp"? -- Those monkeys can do ANYTHING!!!!

What a bunch of crap. The Chimp gets a prize what did the human get offered. I would bet that if you gave this same test to a man and the prize was one night with Bo Derek, he would get it right every time. Besides a Chimp has only the test to think about and a prize. The humans mind is full of a Fink President running our country into the ground.

I read about this before, but... uh... I just can’t remember the results....

Great. So how to the chimps stack up against the researchers in the “design-a-test-and-make-a-video-of-it” test?
