lol i usually have a good memory but i think i just epic failed. also, i don't think your friend's problem has anything to do with memory. men are usually more mechanically minded than woman, and hence understand easier how things work.

[pixiekorigal]

@pixiekorigal i watched it again and realise why i didn't remember kermit, it was because i didn't know who that pink guy was *ashamed*

I'm a 31 year old man with a short attention span and missed some of the video. I'm uncertain about the methodology. It is as much a test of observation as memory. The results may also be skewed by peoples egos. If you scored low and have a big ego then you a less likely to post your result.

You know, I find it amusing that in a test to check if there is a difference between the memory of men and women, the test subjects have like a 10-1 ratio in gender difference, possibly more.

It's to my opinion, not a memory issue that differentiates men from women as such, it's different interests related to gender. There's also a tendency among women to use and men to understand. This is yet overgeneralization. Your friend started the memory issue and you picked up on it.

As I understand women and men both have different ways of remembering things (ie: men tend to give statistical distances, where as women tend to use landmarks.)

1) Expanded rubber sacks containing an unspecified gas.

2) Dont know

3) Chicken Suit

4) There was a hot air baloon? (dont know)

5) dont know

But on another note, you should specify which cups. I didnt really think of the tea cups as actual cups, more liken novelty bowls.
