So at least you'll admit that if fruit flies are not as clever as mice, they're at least as clever as pigeons. (Laughter) Now, I want to get across that it's not just a matter of numbers but also the challenge for a fly to compute everything its brain has to compute with such tiny neurons.
Vielleicht sind Fliegen  nicht so klug wie Mäuse, aber doch mindestens so klug wie Tauben. (Lachen) Es geht hier also nicht nur  um reine Zahlen, sondern auch um die Herausforderung für die Fliege, wenn sie alles mit winzigen  Nervenzellen berechnen muss.
