You cognize that game in Brain Age where you get a quick look at a batch of numbers then have to tap them in numerical order after they ’re hide ? In news that must please the unspoiled Dr. Kawashima to no close , scientists at Kyoto University have found that five - year - old chimp are able to perform a ( very ) similar effort much faster than a mathematical group of nine able - minded college student on a touchscreen test seam that resembles the best - selling DS game .
With a .7 2d look , both man and beast are on even ground , but with a 0.4 second or 0.2 second ( ! ! ) peep , the college Kid got owned , completing it 40 % of the time compared to the chimps ’ 80 % . One thing ’s for sure — taking this tryout probably did n’t help the college youngster with their self esteem . While not as funny as a chimp work a typewriter while smoke a cigarette , the video above of brave Ayumu doing his affair is jolly damn amazing . Get that chimp a stylus !
And if you want to be impressed , see the next video , register the chimp memorizing the digits after the mere peek .
