Octopuses given Rubik's Cubes to find out if they have a favourite tentacle
From the article: “Marine experts have given 25 octopuses a Rubik’s Cube each in a study aimed at easing their stress levels in captivity. Scientists believe the intelligent sea creatures have a preferred arm out of eight that they use to feed and investigate with. They are now testing this theory with a month-long observation project in which the octopuses will be given food and toys to play with.” (Thanks, Martha!)
