That's possible. But, cringing at attempting to recall the laws of probability, if it had no memory retention it would continue making errors. However, it clearly demonstrates both memory and basic analysis. Disregarding the sand entirely, it new that wouldn't work. With the first, it continued selecting one over the other, without memory retention we are probably talking several dozen attempts and fails until it got lucky. Then the third, it applied analysis, rejecting the light blocks even moving one out of the way.I suspect it took quite a bit of trial and error, before he figured out the best way to meet his objective.
In the NT of Aus. touring an animal habitat area. The same signs warning people of Estuarian crocs and where to not get out of your vehicle - warning people about the Emus.

Cassowaries are essentially small velociraptors.
Ravens are one of the most intelligent birds there is. People underestimate them. Usually they pick up on something real quick I had to do that for a high school biology project and studied them. They can even talk and sound like people.
