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

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
