 The article discusses how people check their devices around 125 times a day, and it's only a matter of time before Chan and Sukumaran remain in an isolated cell on Nusakambangan Island where they have lodged a challenge with the Constitutional Court to have their death sentence overturned. President Widodo said he would not interfere with the inmates' outstanding legal appeals. A study has found that if you are bothered for 60 seconds while trying to focus on something, then you will have to start fresh because you can't recall what you were doing. People who joke about having the memory of a goldfish may have to think again as scientists have found that fish can remember events for up to a fortnight. Working on the assumption that they could be capable of advanced memory tasks, Canadian researchers trained fish to locate food before removing them from the tank for 12 days. When the fish were later reintroduced, motion-tracking software revealed they could identify the precise location of food. According to the Indonesian Attorney-General, the pair won't be executed until the conclusion of the Asian-African Conference being held in Jakarta this week.
