I think I am turning into a goldf....................

[RingoDave]

As for the goldfish - how on Earth did someone measure that?

[Evil Sid]

more to the point is WHY did someone measure that.

 

Your actual goldfish has a capacity for learning and has a memory span greater than the stated 3 seconds. They have been known to be able to negotiate simple obstacles in return for food and over a period of time have learnt to recognise the route that will get them to the food in the shortest time.
