It’s official — chimps are smarter than college students (wonder if they know how to cross the street).
A few chimpanzees in Japan have been trained to count to nine by touching Arabic numerals, in order, on a computer screen. They can even do this after seeing the numbers scrambled across the screen for a fraction of a second, after which the number are covered but remain in their original location — and they do this better than college students.
