That statement isn't even correct. he just means that intelligent ppl TEND to think about puzzles too hard and make them more complicated then they are.
Various people on the site have said to think outside the box. With that tip, it will take a stupid person and a smart person the same amount of time. No big difference.

vburo, SIMMER DOWN!

"For the record, I have yet to figure the puzzle out. I'm generally pretty good with puzzles too. Do I attribute this to being smarter? Of course not. Like you said in your background, different people look at the world differently. This is what I find interesting about your professor's statement. On one hand, the puzzle, he says, took him a year to solve. So by saying "smarter people take longer" is a way of having a sense of humour about it (which the majority people seemed to have missed completely).
On the other hand, its as though he's challanging those people who completed it quickly. It's as if their offence to the statement is exactly what prompts it in the first place. It's very subtle (whether intentional or not) humour."

well, it took him a year, and he's a doctor so you can quote allah himself, but it's right there in black and white from the good doctor and all...
