Minute to Win It and Processing Speed

I've caught a few episodes of NBC's Minute to Win It, a new hit game show. Contestants have to complete each game within one minute. The games increase in difficulty as the contestant progresses. Complete 10 games, win $1 million. Sounds simple, right? Most of the games remind you of things you did at a party in college while holding a beer. But, I happened to watch a couple of episodes that featured 2 games that reminded me of processing speed ability. The first game, Wheel of a Deal, involves sorting playing cards into 5 different stacks by face value. The other game, Separation Anxiety, involves sorting M&Ms by color. These games scream Gs (processing speed) to me, with a little bit of Gt (decision speed).
