Scientists gave ants five 'piano movers' puzzles, and larger groups consistently outperformed smaller teams on the toughest challenges

A study reveals that larger ant groups solve complex transport puzzles better. Researchers found that group size significantly impacts success on harder tasks. Smaller ant groups struggled with more intricate puzzle geometries and configurations. Physics models alone could not fully explain the ants' collective problem-solving abilities. This research highlights the flexibility and robustness of ant colony cognition.
