Well all this does is highlight the complexity of inteligence , something could be realy sharp at 1 specifc skill but be usless at abstract thinking , humans might be so engaged in abstract thinking that there brains are have evolved and this is a trade off against being hyper focused at a singular task at hand.

would rather have it so that 10% of my brain dealt with a task at hand and 90% was working out ways that would mean that I could achieve the task at hand easer or with less effort overall increasing the probability that i would invent a tool.

"Well all this does is highlight the complexity of inteligence.."
Yeah but that's amazing. Now we have more of an insight into how it all works despite the complexity.

There is abstract thinking involved in this task. Realize that the chimpanzee or human must know the order of the numerals (arbitrary symbols).

If you want to test yourself, you can do so at Lumosity.com. It requires a free sign up, and you'll get to play all the brain games for free for about a week. Then they want to charge you.

We should just accept our time is over, dude.>> ^westy:
