Lets train monkeys to do this task day in and day out for a month or two and then get random students to compete against them without them ever having practiced the test!

I think the point of research would be that you don't stack it in either direction.

That said, I think 12 years of education and 4000 years of civilization probably gives us a little advantage beyond our simple genetics in a number ordering test (sudoku anyone?)

So chimps are slightly better at remembering where numbers were on a screen

we could make chimps extinct tomorrow if we wanted to. Advantage - Humans

We could make ourselves extinct tomorrow by our own stupidity. Advantage - Chimps

^^^ Indeed, it is us who are running the test.
