Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

A century ago, a psychologist named Wolfgang Köhler proved that chimpanzees could solve complex problems. He hung a banana high out of reach. The chimps sat, thought, and suddenly stacked wooden boxes ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...

Despite having tiny brains, bumblebees have demonstrated a remarkable ability to socially learn how to use tools, solve simple puzzles, and cooperate to achieve a goal. It seems they can also solve ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...

Bumblebees are the brainboxes of the insect world, suggests new research. The garden pollinators are able to solve puzzles spontaneously — despite having tiny brains, scientists say. Bumblebees were ...
