I wonder if this is what they were referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-level_task
“…the finding that men perform [the water-level task] at a higher level has been robustly confirmed.”
It goes on to say “One typical study from 1989 found that 32% of college women failed the test, compared to 15% of college men.” A third of girls who made it into college couldn’t do it.
I assume for the college level students it’s who can mark the level of the water most accurately? I certainly hope all of them would at least mark the water line horizontal to the ground
Wikipedia suggests a common failure is to not change the angle of the water surface, leaving it parallel to the base of the tube rather than to gravity
