Hah, I thought of that exact same clip! That chimp is amazing. Even if the numbers were displayed the entire time, I doubt I could match its speed. I wonder if orangutans and gorillas have the same ability? Tom Brent Meeker writes:
Or there could be a game that required you to quickly recognize and remember the numbered order of squares on a screen.

I've been thinking it might be fun to have a computer graphics game that challenges you to guess the number of items on the screen quickly.
With feedback, I wonder how proficient one can become at that. Say they are all just circular dots.
