Humans vs Chimps

So you've got a photographic memory?


Hah! I finally beat the freakin' 8/10 average (OK, so I had some practice).

To be honest, I was surprised that chimps could be trained to do this working memory task. But no, it does not make chimps any smarter than us. Working memory is just one of the brain's many functions.

Try it out. It's not as easy as it seems.

If you're stumped, I have a tip to improve your score.
Sit further from the screen.
