Fascinating experiments done with humans and ants.
"Unsurprisingly, the cognitive abilities of humans gave them an edge in the individual challenge, in which they resorted to calculated, strategic planning, easily outperforming the ants.
In the group challenge, however, the picture was completely different, especially for the larger groups. Not only did groups of ants perform better than individual ants, but in some cases they did better than humans."

@silverfish totally. Yeah, nestmates for sure and @TyrionTargaryen pointed out that the article said the humans were limited in how they communicated. He also pointed out also it might've made a difference if the humans knew each other instead of just being random volunteers, as they appear to have been? Wild stuff.
@jake4480 Should have had 'we can work it out' as the soundtrack.
