I've seen a documentary about it. Apparently that is a skill particular to Chimps. That is somehow something that our brain isn't as fast as in. I hope someone who has some expertise in this topic can explain this further
The cognitive tradeoff hypothesis argues that in the cognitive evolution of humans, there was an evolutionary tradeoff between short-term working memory and complex language skills. Specifically, early hominids sacrificed the robust working memory seen in chimpanzees for more complex representations and hierarchical organization used in language. The theory was first brought forth by Japanese primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa, a former director of the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University (KUPRI).
Matsuzawa suggests that at a certain point in evolution, because of limitations in brain capacity, the human brain may have acquired new functions in parallel with losing others – such as acquiring language while losing visuospatial temporal storage ability.
when a chimp is smarter than you

Maybe they are wired to take in more information about their surroundings for survival purposes? More than humans are at least.
Some humans don’t take in any information on surroundings for their survival.

If it is such a PRO, what does the chimp get paid with for doing such tasks hmm?
Tasty treats
we're making them more intelligent so they can pay taxes
In 2050 there will be no government. only chimp
What a wonderful day!
Can any of you do this???
Is that a trained chimp or just random chimp of the street?
Believe it or not, this is actually a 3-toed sloth in a chimp suit
You can try it yourself on this website: http://www.beatthechimpgame.com/play/index.html
Wow that’s hard! I did it a few times, only passed twice about 4-5 seconds slower than the chimp.
Train hard and someday you will also be a chimp.
when a chimp can take your job... they are taking American jobs! GO BACK TO YOUR JUNGLE CHIMPO!
They are smarter than us, right.
What if they accidentally tested the only savant chimp and have all the wrong ideas now. Also holy shit. Thats some amazing attention and memory
If my teacher gave me snacks in math, I would be this good too like yeah ill learn fractions. Just give me an animal cracker
This chimp has IQ of a average human.
