Could this be just that the kids that watch SB "9 minutes or more a day" are the same kids that watch hours of tv. While the kids that watch "slower programming" are the kids whose parents don't allow them to watch as much TV? It would seem there are a ton of factors to be considered.

Full article is available, although it will require you to learn the meaning of "Tower of Hanoi."

Thanks for that. Pretty cool animated example of the "Tower of Hanoi": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi
I appreciate the clarification. Aside: There is only one children's show that I care to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Os-CACRwM8 Be advised, the above link is highly "catchy" and may remain in your head for days.
