Monkey see, monkey do?

[buddy]

True or false?

A monkey is allowed to see two objects, a banana and a box.

But the banana is suspended from a string which the monkey cannot reach.

However, if the monkey stands on the box he can reach the banana.

If both the banana and the box are in the monkeys vision, he can solve the problem.

However, if the monkey is only able to see one object at a time, he cannot solve the problem. (IE, If he sees the banana, then has to turn his head to see the box, he cannot solve the problem.)

[THE KOD]

"To learn more clearly the respective parts played by eyes and nose in the location of food, I carved and colored a wooden banana with such unexpected success that a banana grower to whom I showed it told me the variety to which it belonged! When this was exposed alone, it attracted no attention; but when there were real bananas near it to supply the characteristic banana fragrance, its appearance was sufficiently deceptive to call for some inspection. At the most a mere touch, and more often a sniff at a distance of six to eight inches, was sufficient to reveal the fraud. Another experiment supplied more convincing proof that Jos?s chief provider is his nose.

After he had become wholly accustomed to securing a banana tied to the end of a string hung from what was designed to be the tanagers? tray, the suspended banana was placed in a box. It was thereby concealed from his eyes but not from his nose, and the boxed banana was retrieved just as readily as though it had been fully exposed. When, however, the box was hung without a banana, the absence of the fruit was usually discovered by sniffing from the ground and no closer inspection was made. But if a banana was placed in the tray and an object about a banana?s weight, in the box, the tray banana was eaten and the box hauled up to within six or eight inches and then quickly dropped. This test was made repeatedly and no one seeing it could doubt Jos?s complete confidence in the information he received from his nose."

the conclusion I would have to draw from the information you provided, is that monkeys are not much more intelligent that reallists or centrists.
