Once watched the twins, McDonnell and Douglas, practicing how to jump onto the patio dividing wall. One of them went through several cycles of “if I jump from the top of the grill, I’m starting higher up, but if I use the side table, I’m a foot and a half closer; which way to resolve the trade-off?”
He finally made it, grabbing the top of the wall with the front paws and scrabbling the rest of the way up. Then he sat there taunting his brother from the top of the wall as he went through exactly the same indecision.
