Each pet had its own platform. Some pets were placed directly on the platform.
Of course, some platforms were shorter and more suitable for adjustment.
Beresa's chimpanzee was also in the finals. It was sitting on the platform right now.
"Then, let's start." The judge took the card and started reading the questions. "First question, a little girl sleeps at nine every night and sleeps for nine hours. What time does she wake up the next day? A at five, B at six, C at seven, B at eight."
This was a math question, and it was different from the usual animal math questions, which were questions that were written using icons. This was a question that was written using spoken English.
Apart from testing the pet's understanding of human language, it also tested their logical calculation.
With this question, more than half of the eight contestants were eliminated.
Only three pets could answer — Princess, Globe, and Caesar the chimpanzee.
One question was enough to tell the difference between an ordinary pet and a real psychic pet.
Animals had language too, but it was simpler.
For example, dogs didn't use language to chat. Instead, they used it to express simple intentions and emotions.
For example, eating, playing, sleeping, territory, happiness, sadness, and so on.
Under normal circumstances, dogs or other animals couldn't understand the logic of human language.
It wasn't just because they couldn't make complex sounds like humans, but also because they couldn't understand the logic of human language.
They could barely understand one or two words. The simplest examples were sitting down and shaking hands.
But if it was a sentence, it was hard to judge and understand.
Of course, there was another type of animal, like genetic mutation.
There were also geniuses among animals.
There are individual cases of intelligent geniuses in certain species.
They could understand longer sentences and even completely understand the meaning and logic of human language.
Chen Zhao watched the competition with Gerlyn in his arms. He wasn't surprised by Princess's performance at all.
He wasn't surprised by Caesar's performance either, because chimpanzees were the only species with high intelligence in the animal kingdom.
Especially trained chimpanzees, their intelligence could even reach the level of an eight-year-old human child.
Chimpanzees were also the only primate species that had the emotion of shame.
In the research of zoologists, they'd found that regret was a relatively advanced emotion.
That was because repentance required logical thinking.
So, Caesar's reaction wasn't out of Chen Zhao's expectations.
But the elephant-tortoise's performance surprised him.
It was rare to hear of turtles with super high intelligence.
Holding his phone, Chen Zhao looked up the types of globes.
The globe should be the Galapagos Tortoise, the largest tortoise on Earth.
Their diet is vegetarian and they are very docile.
Adult males weigh between 280 and 330 kilograms, with the heaviest possibly exceeding 400 kilograms.
The Galapagos Tortoises also had an extremely long lifespan. If there were no natural or man-made disasters, they could live for more than 200 years.
Due to their size, they also had a brain capacity that other turtles did not have.
Therefore, in terms of intelligence, it was indeed smarter than other medium-sized and small turtles.
However, it was rare to hear that they had intelligence close to that of chimpanzees.
"The second question …"
The three pets answered correctly again.
Third question, fourth question, fifth question …
With the princess's wisdom, she could easily answer some common sense questions.
These questions posed no difficulty to it.
However, when it came to Caesar and the globe, he began to hesitate.
The only way to stump the princess was to ask some complicated math questions.
If the questions were all common sense, Princess could play for an entire afternoon.
However, this was a pet quiz, not a math test, so he couldn't give them math questions with more than two digits.
Princess's ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide was probably better than most Americans.
Finally, at the twelfth question, Caesar could not answer.
Caesar showed a very human-like expression of disappointment and even looked at Rudy in shame.
Now, only the competition between Princess and the globe was left.
The judge looked at the two extremely smart pets.
These two species were also frequent participants in previous pet competitions.
However, they were not frequent competitors in the finals. In fact, they had never been there before.
Now, it had become a showdown between the two of them.
But after thirty questions, the judge had finished all the questions in his card, and there was still no winner between Princess and the globe.
The audience was in disbelief.
The judge was also troubled. This was something that had never happened before.
These two pets were really too smart.
After discussing with the organizer, the judge found Fali and the owner of the globe to discuss.
There was no point in continuing like this.
Because the two pets could answer all thirty questions, it meant that their understanding of common sense had reached or was close to that of a normal person.
So, there was no winner even if they kept asking.
In the end, the result of the discussion was to come up with the last question.
Let Princess and the globe arrange the twenty-six letters in their own way.
The result of this overtime was Princess's victory.
Because Princess really did know the twenty-six letters. Coincidentally, she did.
But the globe only arranged six letters, ABCDEF, and couldn't arrange anything after that.
In the end, Princess became the champion of this year's pet competition. Other than the fifty thousand dollar prize, there was also a medal with the word "wisdom" engraved on it.
The girl was quite happy that the globe was the runner-up.
Although it didn't win, she thought it was because it was a bit unlucky.
If the final question segment had continued, the globe might not have lost.
After the competition ended, many spectators fought to take a photo with the princess and the globe.
They were pretty much the smartest animals that humans could imagine.
Especially Princess' stunning performance, she won many people's attention.
Someone even asked Fali to buy Princess.
Of course, no one said anything. Princess was not for sale.
Chen Zhao and Fali brought Princess. Gerlyn sat on Princess' back again and went to find Beresa.
"Ms. Beresa, looks like you lost. Oh … what's this chimpanzee called? Caesar, right? What a mighty name, haha … "Chen Zhao had won the bet, so he obviously had to challenge Beresa. Otherwise, the fun of winning would be gone.
Beresa's face darkened. "The money is in Eveleigh's account."
With that, she turned to leave.
Ludi looked at Princess. "She's really too smart. I've never seen such a smart animal. Sir, have you considered selling her? I'm willing to buy her for a million dollars. "
Chen Zhao pursed his lips. Someone had offered two million before, but Chen Zhao had only rolled his eyes.
