What is the chimp test?
Numbers disappear after you select 1. Continue selecting their positions in ascending order.
How the test works

- Select 1 to hide the remaining numbers.
- Continue in order; three errors end the run.
How your score is calculated
Your score is the largest set of numbered positions completed. Each success adds one tile.
What can affect your score?
Screen size, visual grouping, attention, and spatial rehearsal affect performance.
