Motivation

Did you know a Chimpanzee can remember a random layout of numbers 1-9, such as in this game, correctly better than humans? Watch this video to see a chimp in action: Chimp vs Human! | Memory Test | BBC Earth

I tried to replicate the test from above video in a web page, and this simple react project is the result of it.
