Re: Speed and Intelligence

No not the class of substances, though that would be an interesting discussion as well.
To what extent does the speed of problem solving reflect innate intelligence, or is simply a matter of repetition and practice is what I am getting at.

I think speed in solving a math based problem is almost as related to knowledge as it is to intelligence. With logic based problems obviously some prior knowledge is far more important than intelligence (of a similar question or way of thinking or w/e).

This is only true if the problem in question is part of a wider class that the problem solver is familiar with or the solution is similar to some technique which you've seen before.
If you have "create" a solution from scratch I am sure that speed and intelligence extremely closely related.
