Your question seems to imply their intelligence increases at the same rate as a human and keeps doing so until they die. That would be very strange if it were the case.
I'm guessing they reach their maximum intelligence well before they die, and then they plateau, like most other animals. So living 20 years would make it more experienced but not able to apply to MIT.
- mitchty 11y agoDon't some octopus die young too? Around 3-4 years for certain species. Well not young but more their life span isn't that long.
- mitchty 11y agoOk don't get why I'm getting down voted but I did recall right at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteroctopus_dofleini#Lifespan_and_reproduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteroctopus_dofleini#Lifespan... 3-5 years and they're the longer lived octopus.

- vansteen 11y agoSome scientists think they are quite intelligent animal and they can easily learn. The problem is they have to learn everything by themselves. I read that octopus doesn't transmit any knowledge from one generation to the next one. The mother put some eggs in a cave, protect them and then die once the babies hatch out.
