Matsuzawa Tetsuro, a Kyoto-based primate researcher has tested 5-year old chimpanzees who walked away with an astounding 80% accuracy after testing. For comparative purposes, a fantastic human score, posted by a first-year doctoral candidate is around 10 percent. The best spin that science has been able to assemble so far is that we may have evolved away from short-term memory and perhaps the common ancestor of chimps and humans had a photographic memory. Why on earth would that happen, you might ask? A photographic memory is great for counting cards, blackmail, knowing where your keys are -all kinds of important tasks. It seems that photographic memory impairs abstract thought, which is essential to forming language.

Blech. I got through 4 without screwing up, but then I started messing up. It's not so much a question of memory. My eyes aren't fast enough to scan the whole thing when it pops up.

Can a Chimpanzee get 1,000 GS in Devil May Cry 4? It is possible, but HIGHLY UNLIKELY!
