      Hi grew364gas,
      Did you mean for this school project? if so, I would like to understand one aspect of intelligence – problem solving in animals (including humans). To achieve this, I would like to design a puzzle box (with your help) and see whether an individual could successfully solve the box and how quickly would they do so.

      The box (e.g. a bird feeder) should contain out-of-reward treats (i.e. dog cookies for your pets, seeds for birds, nuts for squirrels, and smarties for kids etc). To get the treats, the individual should find a way to overcome some obstacles (e.g. pulling several sticks). You could place this box either in the gardens in your school or house, or give it directly to you pet, neighbour, friends (not participating in this project) or family!

      Would you be interested in creating a puzzle box?
