I've seen this video side by side with another video of humans trying to solve the same puzzle, the ants win.

the ants video is seriously sped up. humans will figure it out way faster.

edit: also the humans were not allowed to communicate, lol.

I saw the video, the humans won. Both parts are speed up, but ants more. The humans were not allowed to communicate, the ants can communicate.

Even if you ignore all of that, both would be of the same level. I see zero reasons why the ants would be better in the video.

Literally, the first sentences:

For this experiment, humans were prevented from communicating with each other!

We have come to rely on verbal communication for basically everything. This is not a valid comparison!
