Young chimps outperformed university students in memory tests devised by Japanese scientists. The tasks involved remembering the location of numbers on a screen, and correctly recalling the sequence.

(...) They found that, in general, the young chimps performed better than their mothers and the adult humans. The university students were slower than all of the three young chimpanzees in their response.

Same here.

Ill never forgot sitting in an accountancy lecture an example Profit and loss sheet was given with an example company name, AB&C trading.

Some numb nut asked in all seriousness 'What does the AB&C stand for' I feel around laughing along with many of the class.
