Science Report Thursdays or: Scoobik’s Cube

It has become scientific fact that octopuses actually enjoy playing with Rubik’s cubes. The original purpose of giving octopuses Rubik’s cubes was to find out wether or not they prefer a side (right-handed or left-handed) or if they are multidextrous. What the scientists at SeaLife marine park in Weymouth, UK found was that octopuses actually have 6 arms and 2 legs, making their name totally inaccurate.

Octopuses have yet to figure out how to complete the puzzle.
