Monkey see, monkey calculate.

Caveat: The study was performed at Duke, so the college students' performances are obviously going to be lower than they would have been eight miles to the west, but still.

A college education doesn't give you much of an edge over a monkey when it comes to doing some basic arithmetic, according to a study released Monday that underscores the surprising mental agility of our simian relatives. In a rapid fire test of mental addition, monkeys performed almost as well as college students, showing they're no slouches when it comes to number crunching. The macaques got their sums right 76 percent of the time, while the students got the correct answer 94 percent of the time in a series of increasingly challenging maths tests.

On the other hand, the monkeys' five-paragraph essays sucked and not a single one could work a beer bong properly.
