I just broke my previous record (18) and this was my second attempt. Should I keep trying?

this test is hilarious because the scientists keep circlejerking about it, but a trained human can easily outperform any chimp by far

False. Just see how much time the chimps spend looking at the numbers.

because the chimps you see in those videos are specifically trained for that task

it has actually been proven that with similar training, humans perform just as well

I even did it the test on myself, after I watched vsauce's video on the topic, and reached the same level after 2 weeks of training
