they are quite smart, i don't know if i read it here or on another site, but someone did a test, wherein a trainer showed a chimp how to own a box to get food, the case being clear, the chimp could see everything the person did. while showing the chimp how to do it, the person would do things that don't open the box or do it wrong on purpose
the chimp watched him and didn't do the mistakes the person did on purpose

You read it here.
