Donut-brained cuttlefish passed an intelligence test designed for kids

Cuttlefish are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. In fact, a recent study conducted by Dr. Alex Schnell from the University of Cambridge, found that cuttlefish passed an adaptation of the 'Marshmallow test', designed in the 1970s to test children's self-control.
