Some people process and synthesize information much faster than others.

Maybe it is more a matter of honesty but the truly brilliant people that I have met can acknowledge that they do not know everything. So in the moment, they know that they do not have every possible piece of information in mind and that leaves the door open for doubt.

Then go ahead and demonstrate by answering the questions correctly.

One answer will suffice for both.

Are there not different types of brilliance? Here is where I am going with this. There is intelligence.  There is agenda. Then, there is hidden or private agenda. And, moving further to the dark side, there is insanity.  None of these are mutually exclusive.

In your concept of brilliance, a highly intelligent person will typically focus their attention attempting to uncover and define some unknown, fundamental truth or set of truths, knowing if/when he does this, there will be even deeper questions he simply cannot answer.  This is what I call obvious brilliance, maybe even a know-it-all, or perhaps even someone who knows that he does not know everything.  Either way, they are quite similar.

What happens when you mix brilliance with insanity? You get a woman who manipulates her husband to commit heinous murders.  Charlene Gallego, a violin prodigy and nymphomaniac with an IQ of 160, orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of at least 11 people, some as young as 13 and most of them female.  She intentionally married a real piece of work for a husband - but she knew what she was doing. She focused her husband on kidnapping and sexually assaulting girls, of course she was highly involved as well; then they eventually murdered them.  Charlene and her husband were eventually caught. But, Charlene had planned for that too. She claimed she was a victim too, agreed to testify against her husband and, as a result, only received a 17-year prison sentence. She has been "free" since 1997.
 
If you ever conversed with Charlene, do you think she would come off as a know-it-all? I don't think so. Rather, I think her highly intelligent and very twisted mind would all the while be sizing you up to see if she can involve you in the commission of a heinous crime and get you blamed for it. 

I know, sick.....and brilliant.

Well, of course. Intelligence/brilliance manifests itself in different ways. I have worked with folks who create enormously complex computer scripts with ease but then could not tell you how to cook a steak or whatever.

The same answer I have given in the past.  You know what yhou have to do and where to do it.  This is not the right thread.

No...I asked two questions to illustrate the point you are making.

The answer to both is the same and requires 1 keystroke. 

Apparently that is another keystroke too far.

Wrong thread.  And I am far from a know at all.  In the discussion you wish to force onto this thread (and you already know my answer) I have more personal experience experience than you do.  15 more years experience with one of the designs compared to  your zero experience.

Remember, you are the guy who tried to tell me about driving a truck, shooting a rifle, flying a helicopter, etc.

Here is the answer answer.  More than one, less than a hundred.  Last time I am answering that question.

Unless this is not about know-it-alls, of course.

Prove it by answering the challenge.  Why is it your are immune from having to do any work or answering questions.

Do you know more than the author of the citation?

Yes, this is true isn't it?  So, here's a question for you.  Normal IQ ranges between 80 - 120, with 100 being the median.  Let's focus our attention on those with a low-normal IQ, say 80. No brain injury (no "cool spots" in neural imaging). This person exhibits poor problem solving skills and appears to have little ability to engage in abstract thinking, but is marginally functional and can communicate.  What, exactly, is going on with the rest of his brain?  Its not "off", not actually broken, the question is, what is it doing?  Do you have any guess as to this?
