Scuba Forum / General / February 2008Reef Fish can count to four - but no higher
An interesting article on the mathmatical limitations of Fish: <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/02/26/ eafish126.xml> Certainly explains a lot. -hh >An interesting article on the mathmatical limitations of Fish: > ><http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/02/26/ >eafish126.xml> > >Certainly explains a lot. Oh, I thought you meant *our* Reef Fish!!! :-))))) BTW, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/02/26/eafish126.xml To correct the URL. ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold > >An interesting article on the mathmatical limitations of Fish: > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Oh, I thought you meant *our* Reef Fish!!! :-))))) I read the article, and I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he meant. > BTW, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/02/26/eafish126.xml > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Arnold > >An interesting article on the mathmatical limitations of fish: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Oh, I thought you meant *our* Reef Fish!!! :-))))) Gosh golly, it never even crossed my mind to make make that connection. Afterall, Bob Ling's ego & temper were such that he never was able to count to even *three* before hitting <reply> ... or should I say, <REPLY>, let alone to four (or even ten). > BTW, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/02/26/eaf... > > To correct the URL. Gah....the danged 'too long line' problem. Here's the tinyurl compression: <http://tinyurl.com/2sja93> I did find the article interesting in that they found fish could also 'guesstimate' relative sizes of substantially larger schools of fish (larger than four), but this behavior was 'constrained' to still be in multiples of four and so forth. -hh >> >An interesting article on the mathmatical limitations of fish: >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >was able to count to even *three* before hitting <reply> ... or should >I say, <REPLY>, let alone to four (or even ten). Silly me.... I should have known..... ;-) ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold
