lol I actually got top comment for this. About 50 people replied. Half saying 'I agree', and half saying 'go to hell'. What I said is so true though lol:

Well your percentage of error was still incredibly high

[(estimated - actual) / actual] x 100
[(7 - 777600) / 777600] x 100

which equals

-99.99909979...%

(this is assuming that 3 months is equal to 90 days since the months we are speaking of could vary)

this means that what you thought the fish's memory was, compared to what it actually is, was about 99.99909979% (cut off due to laziness) incorrect

tl;dr
give the fish more credit

EDIT: Also, IQ =/= memory span. yes they're correlated, no they do not mean the same thing. (in the same way, smart =/= able to memorize stuff. you could be in chemistry and memorize every single element [and the names of the compounds {and the compositions of these compounds}], and still be totally retarded in the class. because intelligence =/= memory.)

One word can describe what you just said. Mindfuck.
