Will remember stuff for bananas (probably)
Britain's Ben Pridmore, the UK memory champion, is nursing his wounded pride today after suffering defeat in a memory test game against Ayumu, a seven year old chimp from Japan.According to India Times.com, Ayumu was 90% correct in a memory test where random numbers were flashed on a screen for 1/5th of second before being covered up, a bit like one of the games in Nintendo's Brain Training on the DS.
Pridmore sadly only scored 30% accuracy, which means Ayumu gave him a bit of a trouncing.
Sadly for Ben, his defeat is due to be screened on Channel Five's Extraordinary Animals on January 29th.
