the water was never an option for the humans, as it wasnt shown on the screen. humans could fuck em up mentally in 10000000 different ways if we wanted to...

i saw the same test, but instead of water, the chimp urinated in the tube to get the peanut.

you could presurise the tube at a sub atomic level so the molecules of the peanut completely disintegrate into a combustable material which causes the atoms of the peanut to travel at the speed of light, and you could capture the mass with a cilidrical device ultimately containing the peanut.

would a chip never think of that? no!

so stuff you national geographic....pwnd

trying to diss the human race like that!

HUMANS 10000000000000
