In an experiment to find out whether octopuses have a preferred arm out of the eight they use scientists have given them a Rubik’s Cube. 25 octopuses have all been given one of the toys and the scientists will record their behaviour to see whether the creatures use a specific limb to pick up the toy. I have never managed to solve a Rubik’s Cube, I wonder how long it will the octopuses to figure it out.
