Re: Free Will
Often it is somewhat more than that. Often you must create the options in your mind, work out the details and then test them.

Not too long ago I was channel hopping and came across a documentary on crows.

May have been, I've seen that one as well. In this segment though they were testing to see if the crows could work out tool related problems, using multiple tools in sequence to get food.
