Default Octopus given Rubiks cube for research

Octopuses given Rubik’s Cube to find out if they have a favorite tentacle
Are they octidextrous, or do they have assigned tentacles for different things (eating, thinking, flirting, etc.)? If we knew, we could reduce the poor things’ stress levels, explained England’s Sea Life Centre. Daily Mail (London)

So what did the octopus do?? It would be so cool if he'd started playing with it and actually put the Rubiks cube together, LOL!

What!! They want to reduce the stress of an octopus. I have a hard enough time doing a rubiks cube with just two hands, how much more stressful would it be with another six!!!

Poor octopus!!!

Octopi have stress? Really? How would they figure a stress level for an octopus? I'd think it'd be way more contructive to work on helping human stress levels. I mean, I've never heard of an octopus going postal, have you???

What really makes this sad is that they probably received thousands if not millions of dollars in federal money to study this. Forget that people might actually be able to use this money, we should be studying ways to reduce the stress in the octopus no matter the cost.

I wonder that octopus has stress.I don't think it had a reason for having the stress, it doesn't work for the whole day like us to have stress.
