Chimp beats British memory champ
A seven-year old chimp from Japan has shocked everyone by beating the British memory champion in a computer game.
The chimp, named Ayumu, trounced Ben Pridmore at a computer game based on remembering the position of numbers as they appeared on a screen. In the game, numbers flash up for just one fifth of a second and then hidden by white squares, the participants were required to touch the squares in numerical order.
Ayumu was spot on 90 % of the time, while Ben scored a miserable 33 %. The contest was held for Channel Five programme Extraordinary animals, due to be aired today. ?I?d rather not been seen on TV doing worse than a Chimpanzee in a memory test. I?ll never live it down,? The Sun quoted Ben, as saying.
