"Genius" Chimp Outsmarts Tube

[OMGitsMissLyss]

i actually did think of that..

[superawesomefilm]

I will break out of the cage and go to wal mart to get some beers first

[Nickstefantraulsen]

Human caught Chimp, put him in a cage and made him solve stupid puzzles for our amusement. Human 1 - Chimp 0

[g13000]

Oh so the fact that we created the test, caught a chimp, built a cage, put him in it, created video cameras to record it, then Al Gore invented the internet which we use to stream this video and we all sit around the world, click play, watch and then type comments in a language we all understand counts for nothing?

[costybarbu]

actually i did

[PRHILL9696]

So Chimps are smarter than humans. what else is new

[vickyredz]

the rise of the apes!!

[torqtorqtorq]

I kind of resent the idea that if I didn't come up with the exact same solution as the chimp to a problem that has hundreds of solutions, I must be losing somehow.

[Dbelenit]

I actually I was thought to piss in it instead of spit in some water

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

I thought of using a tool... The thing that humans have always done... Maybe a hose?

[Spindles15]

Chimp in a cage...Humans +1

[jnwpse]

I thought about a tweezer, but I assumed no externals were allowed. This by the way is proof that monkeys can use tools for the religious folks that use any opportunity to say that evolution is false.

[HobbsO]

I actually thought of that just as he went to get the water.

[vilem94]

Quite impressive

[EvanEnterprises]

The difference here is that I didn't know I'd have access to water, whereas the chimp did.

[forsurenoob]

Actually.. I did think of that.

[iceyangstapimp]

My first thought was breaking the tube. But if that didn't work I thought about water. N if thre wasnt water I thought about pissing in it. If that didn't work I thought about spitting in it till it over flowed. Lol. Nope im smarter

[FattyDudley]

I didn't know there was water and a wet peanut doesn't taste good

[snt0]

The ape got me there.

[xbrandon408x]

If you think about it. In aspects like that the chimp probably thinks more out of the box than most humans, largely because a lot of us have been trained not to do that and also we often over think things unlike a chimp!

[JoshJamesification]

I would have just pissed in my mouth, to be honest.

[MollyPoindexter]

I thought he was going to suck it out? That probably wouldn't have work lol Smart ass chimp!

[Matty6660]

First I thought suck it out. Then I though about the water. Im smarter than a chimp! yay!!

[igotsachubby]

They didn't show the chimp that pissed in it.... genius

[YBEyabass]

the whole time i was thinking he was gonna piss in there haha

[FireStormBaller]

But I didn't there was water. Eh, even if I did, I probably would just drink water and use that as my replacement for the nut. XD

[FireStormBaller]

It's Ceasar!

[shadowfox2023]

yea thats the first test... its more like, ape 1593, human 183834742

[FireStormBaller]

@shadowfox2023 NO, because of your statement, it's more like apes 2, humans -1.

[deshool]

How can the theory of evolution be viable if chimps are smarter than humans!?

[presidentjamie]

@deshool Evolution isn't set toward a goal. There is no supreme being it is trying to create. Also, chimps aren't smarter than humans. A chimp is as evolved as we are. I really wish people would pick up a book on evolution before trying to debunk it with laughably moronic questioning.

[deshool]

@presidentjamie No they are smarter as you can see.

[deshool]

@rentamobtv At least this genius chimp is smarter than most of the humans inhabiting the earth, you must also watch the video "Chimp Beats Human: Intelligence Test ".

[TheTechBite]

but we humans can create a really complex machine lol just to OWN the chimp

[colinsn201]

@TheTechBite Really? Which complex machine did you create?

The chimp may not have seen this puzzle before, but what happened here is that the chimp applied something the scientists taught him/her. That being, peanuts float in water. It would be quite undermining to believe he/she couldn't put 2 and 2 together.

[11mrjarjar]

i thought about breaking that tube with my shoes!>:O

[TheSpreadator]

The rise of the planet apes :-D

[696969miller]

i thought of getting a fishing line with a hook

[Virur]

nah nah nah the scores 1:1 cause i thought of it too

[akiddnamedalex]

i there was a pussy in it, i would've probably think of something

[machinmanidol2]

i thought of breaking it...

[Vamavid]

@machinmanidol2 I did too.

[machinmanidol2]

@Vamavid lol ^^ we are not smarter, we're just more violent ^^

[CallebAntichrist]

@machinmanidol2 see how savage and uncivilized we people are? :P

[eonvee375]

@CallebAntichrist yeah ^^"" after all we are still monkeys .... monkeys who won the evolution process !!! ^^ WOOP WOOP !!! ^^

[Bilalmilla]

oO...the first thing that came to my mind was straight smashing that tube...scary^^

[julienmauricemort]

I must be a monkey i though about putting water in it to lift it up just like he did

[SalesBlaze]

when me and my friend saw this we were thinking about using a stick so whos really primitive

[vlogsmack]

At least he didn't poop in it...

[scotland1989able]

wtf? i never would of thought of that in a million years. i would of just got angry and smashed it open lol

[SalesBlaze]

@scotland1989able lold so hard at this.

[santiogo369]

now his nuts are wet

[DBCOOPER888]

We wouldn't think of that because we don't like to spit on our food.

[demonssouls11]

no we wouldn't have thought of that from the video because we can't see it but if the chimp was a human he would have done it easily

[Chinabelle]

I bet the creationists wanted to turn the cage upside down...

[MonicaKn17]

He looked around to make sure no one caught him lol...

[braydenbeautiful]

I thought of spitting in it...

Then I realized I'd die of dehydration before I got the soggy peanut.

Of course I didn't know there was a water dish nearby, but that would have ruined it if we could ass see the dish.

[SteezySkater72]

I didn't think of that because I wouldn't want a wet peanut.

[JaniksKey95]

@SteezySkater72 And I don't want a peanut because I'm allergic to it!

[elenyvon]

And then Archimedes (the chimp ofcourse) yell EUREKA!!!

[TpendragonT]

I wouldn't think of that for the same reason i wouldn't think of shitting on the tube. I don't want my peanut wet.. or shitty.

[thehowl666]

i would have just broken the tube right off. and then throw a handful of feces at people there

[aqcpatrick]

the only reason why some(or even a few) humans won't be able to think of that SPECIFIC solution is because the resources/tools used by the chimp to solve that problem is not shown in the video. i bet any human, even retarded ones will be able to come up with any solution to get the peanut out. and they left out in the video the face that the peanut was in there for 20 minutes. eitherway, the surprisingly amazing fact is that the chimp is capable of thinking such solution.

[scottevill]

@aqcpatrick lets all take the chimps 1 humans 0 line they used as a joke totally seriously and write essays on the matter. Stop watching the rise of the planet of the apes trailer, they are no threat to you my son.

[aqcpatrick]

@scottevill even after reading your comment 5 times, i don't see your point and you making any sense at all didn't occur to me.

[BonBon3589]

Actually, I did think of that.

[UltimateVenom]

society is our cage

[doublephantom2]

@Kcirtap792 and then tell me that again.... Religion is also something that humanity needed and needs to experience before we can move past it. If we never had the dark ages, we might not have seen these issues with religion and therefore we would all be religious and it would create the dark ages once again. Its a paradox. The things we experience i antiquity will shape our future, and all the failures of mankind will only make us strong, but without those failures we cannot value success.

[doublephantom2]

@Kcirtap792 I could go on, particle accelerators, begging to understand quantum entanglement and we even teleported the first subatomic particle. We have achieved an understanding of the world and extreme progress in technology that it actually defies logic how much progress we've made. We make more technological discoveries every day now then we did in the first 50 years of creating the computer. You build a spaceship or make a satellite and take pictures of all the other planets

[doublephantom2]

@Kcirtap792 the average iq is actually 103 and your crazy to think we havent come far in the least 600 years, because 600 years ago if you showed people a phone they would worship you. 600 years ago if you said one day man would travel to the moon you would probably be hanged. We learning and researching so much about the world and technology that you wouldnt be able to comprehend the amount of things the human race has learned over the last 600 years. Satellites, computers, cars, airplanes...

[Nanotech92]

Okay, a chimp can get a peanut out of a tube, a soggy one at that. but who went to the moon? chimps or humans.

Who invented the hubble telescope?

Who invented the car?

Who invented a computer?

And most impornantly - who invented youtube?

Chimps or humans

[doublephantom2]

@Nanotech92 your an idiot if you seriously trying to compare human intelligence with the intelligence of a chimp. Its obvious that we are intellectually superior than them but its astonishing that they are so smart and showing the obvious potential to obtain and utilize the basics of human intellect. Humans are the smartest animals on the planet, so any other animal that gets even remotely close is already an interesting case. The surprising thing about apes is how they operate with pure logic.

[Nanotech92]

@doublephantom2 My point was is that every1 is bitchin about who's smarter, I was jus pointin out chimps compared to us.

[doublephantom2]

@Nanotech92 well they are definitly wrong for bitching about that because its clearly obvious that humans are smarter lol, or else I wouldnt be having this conversation with you via the use of satellites in space, but instead id be in a tree picking leaves out my ass

[Nanotech92]

@doublephantom2 Okay, mate. Maybe I should have said that at first on me comment, he he, a chimp would have

[Regzus]

I heard about this from my friend,so i know that chimp s gonna put a water in that shit,Whos smarter now?

[UnagidonThe5th]

if we knew there was water preserved instead of being given, we'd knew it. they're more clever than our average minds though

[BmanSanti19]

Holy shit was I the only one that was freaking out? Hhaha I wouldn't have thought of that!

[burningyoutuve]

i would solve the problem depending on how hungry i am.

[jadonj03]

Ooh, chimpanzee that! MONKEY NEWS!

[drawingmaniac21]

How is this hard at all? Water displacement is the first thing I would have thought of, considering there were no tools inside the cage and also assuming that the keepers had a water tube always available. I suppose NatGeo doesn't think too highly of the average person. Still impressive of the chimp, though.

[doublephantom2]

@drawingmaniac21 hop the fuck off your high horse and dont act like water displacement was the first thing you would have thought of. You only say that because you saw the chimp do it and thought to yourself, oh yes of course thats obvious, but had that chimp not figured it out and you were in that cage the first thing you would have done was try and stick your finger down there and mabey look for a stick.

[drawingmaniac21]

@doublephantom2 That says more about your intelligence then it does mine. If you're dumber than a chimp then don't be mad at me :)

[doublephantom2]

@drawingmaniac21 haha perhaps I used overly strong language but I am not mad I assure. I never said I couldnt have figured it out, but then again I cannot be sure if I would have or would not have because I saw the answer to the problem before I thought about what I would have done.

[StygianEmperor]

I don't want that peanut anymore.

[dmera420]

my initial reaction was to blow really hard in the tube so make it come flying out the top. depends how heavy the peanut is though, may not work.

[carlerrh]

search for "the story of your enslavement" on youtube and you'll see that in fact humans are also caged

[dmera420]

@carlerrh someone is awake. Just because there arent bars doesnt me we arent contrained, bravo my friend! only a few billion more souls to awaken....

[Body4Life21]

chimp: fill glass with water

Human: break the damm glass with a hammer

[Pehc90]

actually, filling the tube with water was the first thing I thought of. maybe I'm a chimp.. :/

[bynmdsue]

I'm just grateful he didn't piss in it.

[rudhrakha]

@bynmdsue ya tat would be human

[vicksoma]

Most people vastly overestimate human intelligence. In any society, each human gets fed the intelligence of thousands of humans before him/her. A human on it's own left to learn by itself is only slightly more intelligent than a chimp. The big difference being language, which is what humans use to form cultures that preserve knowledge over time. Chimps are a lot smarter than young human children without culture, and some chimps are smarter than some adult humans without culture.

[FarquharDingleberry]

I love the way people don't think this is fair. Boo hoo we didn't know about the water, boo hoo we didn't know peanuts float. Bottom line is anyone with half a brain would be able to make the reasonable assumption that peanuts would float, and who here hasn't got a tap in the house? Knowledge may not imply intelligence but using existing knowledge to solve a problem that's not been encountered before does. It says a lot about us as a species that we cry foul at a video like this. Rant over.

[Somerandomguy678]

@FarquharDingleberry The chimp isn't inside a house with a tap, he's in a cage. If I was in a cage like that with nothing but water it wouldn't take me long to figure out what to do.

[toiletscrubbr]

who cares if you didn't know about the water? the main point of this video is that the chimp is a fuckin genius for its kind. maybe some of you humans are stupid....

[pythor2]

Yeah we didn't know about the water. Knowledge doesn't automatically imply more intelligence..

[GenericPlaque]

Two reasons as to why this puzzle isn't fair.

1. This chimp (and perhaps all chimps) know that peanuts float. I doubt many humans are aware of this, or greatly rely on peanuts as a food source.

2. There is no source of water visible in the picture frame. The chimp sees or knows about the water, and possibly even drinks from it.

Even a baby armed with the same knowledge could solve this.

[golfer1373]

Because if we want a fucking penut we will kick the fucking tube till its cracked or fly two planes into it or go to the local market and buy some lol

[ETheChannel]

108 viewers are not chimps

[DoubleD593]

Humans would just be like "fuck this I'm ordering a pizza!"

[hanbaal]

He has done that before. Or something like it.

I bet that chimp plays with water a lot.

There are some smart animals out there. Ive had a wild black cockatoo pluck sticks off a tree and throw them at me.

[TheCyberslasher1]

@hanbaal Hhahah xd must be an amazing cockatoo 

[cunjoz]

i suppose the one who has made this video reads minds of all who watch it and knows instantly who thought of what....

[HK271184]

Big deal. I've seen a crow figure this out.

[RivendareRogue]

Obviously a human set this test up. Therefore, a human already figured it out. HURR DURR!.

[WillahG]

i would just fucking break the glass

[dycarbon1]

Lol I was thinking of pissing in the tube!

[Adymus]

Filling the tube with water was the first solution that popped into my mind, so fuck you National Geographic.

[yellowfever4]

i thought fill it with liquid although admittedly if i was a chimp i would have pissed in it...

[dnadaltiva69]

106 more idiots that monkey!

[lukington]

putting water in it was my immediate thought, usually you have food and water in the cage so it would be most logical thing to do

[superterp1123]

who's the one who thought of the trick? fuck.

[Yoyoyo1051]

I would've peed in it lol

[FelixL221190]

@Yoyoyo1051 i once saw the whole documentation, one of the chimps did exactly that!

[homopan6]

I love my chimpanzee brothers and sisters, but peanuts don't float. Maybe it's popcorn?

[nathanjedwards90]

@homopan6

well actually before the shell is cracked it will have air inside as, if you see an uncracked peanut shell there is lot of excess space, so yes it would float, but its not as if humans wouldnt come up with that, chimps may be clever but not as much as 'some' humans but i think most humans are stupid mostly due to our selfish nature.

Even selfless acts we do are usually for selfish reasons

[nathanjedwards90]

[spellgrounds]

death to all humans who incarcerate animals !

[jezzr101]

Man thats really smart, creds to the monkeys!

[difficultbastard]

Wow! I never thought to use an unmentioned, off-screen resource within the few seconds that you allotted me. That chimp is indeed smarter than me.

[Neisixe]

So it got the peanut; now what is it going to do about the water it left in the tube?

[NYtassu]

If you play enough RPGs, it's no problem. These puzzles are cakes XD.

[thesparks007]

kicked the tube open OR unlocked the gate and ate at a fast food place

[MrPsykokiller13]

i would of broken the tube with my bare hands because im a MAN

[Strikerklm96]

It would be funny if the scientists set it up so he could pour water into it, but instead he got a rock and smashed the tube.

[piccard1976]

I actually thought of PEEING in the tube . So 1 PEENUT for me.

[SunStance]

@piccard1976 - and then u'd eat it? (  ...minus 2 for u..

[zackhanscom]

@piccard1976 or maybe you'd just notice the pale of water they likely placed in the cage with him.

[TehAxg]

I thought of a wire.... or maybe a hammer >:)

[Gaeuvyen]

Who wants a soggy peanut so badly that they would WASTE their drinking water to get it? Seriously that's not a smart move, that's the opposite of a smart move, using it's drinking water to retrieve a treat that wouldn't even fill it up or give it enough energy to pick its nose.

[PhreakStep]

@Gaeuvyen

We are also wasting our frinking water for useless things.

[eibelandr]

@Gaeuvyen you're just jelly that you didn't think of it

[Gaeuvyen]

Chimps 1 humans 0? more like chimps 17 Humans 696429065325703583285739579279­258305710570137589313513750831­7580

[jaesee95]

woah i actually thought of that one :D

WIN :D

maybe im closer to a chimp than i am to a human

FUCK

[wownov83]

I think if a human wanted the peanut as much as that chimp does, the human would probably think of that eventually.

[tazrockslikecool456]

i dont want wet nuts, and i thought of a better way motherfucker

[NinjaDeathTeddy]

MAYBE I DIDNT WANT WET FUCKIN NUTS?!?!?

but lets be honest, most people didnt think of that. why cant these fuckers talk!

[P3T3RJAY]

chimps 1 humans 0?? who's the one in the cage?

[CNightmare2]

@P3T3RJAY Stupid human, its because you use guns and weapons chimps arent that evolved but they have a better memory then you!

[P3T3RJAY]

@CNightmare2 i don't think guns and weapons is necessary to get a peanut out of a tube, but if you want to use weapons and guns, technology and intelligence was used to create these guns and even more are humans getting smarter improving technology, don't call me a stupid human because you believe in evolution and good 'memory' is not what is needed for what this chimp had thought of.

[CNightmare2]

@P3T3RJAY Huh, i was pointing to that humans are weak and without guns or weapons they probably would be beaten up by a cat, so =)

[P3T3RJAY]

@CNightmare2 oh right, actually, there are heaps of fighting styles and shit like that that would make us beat up that chimp into a cage

[Gaeuvyen]

@CNightmare2 thats a pretty brash statement. also a false one.

[903harman]

@P3T3RJAY haha!

[SepherStar]

@P3T3RJAY Who's the one who got a free peanut?

[P3T3RJAY]

@SepherStar free peanut form a human

[Ichvyenichalster]

@P3T3RJAY Yeah, plus we didn't see any water.

[Benjefwil]

@P3T3RJAY Feeling threatened by chimps? Lol

[559Jony]

lllllllooooooolllllllll

[559Jony]

lllllllloooooooolllllllll

[559Jony]

lllllllllllllloooooooooooollll­llllllllllllll I didn't think of that

[bibbyandal]

thats awesome!!

[shankedbyfrank555]

I don't know if I'd have thought of that... I'd probably be busy studying philosphy and playing computer games.

[DarkGlobus1OO]

i thought of Pissing inside this Tube too get this Peanut...

[LetsPlayDMods]

@DarkGlobus1OO With your spelling skills, I doubt it.

[Abhorham]

prison = cage for humans

[zensenz]

@Abhorham Desmond Morris in "The Human Animal" (BBC, recommended) explores living spaces of humans and tries to find a resemblance in the animal kingdom. He thinks the best comparison for what a megacity is for humans... is what a zoo is to animals :)
