To get started I'm going to pose a hypothetical.
Fred Astaire is always right. He never makes a mistake. If you give him a problem that he can solve, he will solve it correctly 100% of the time. But Fred can't handle differential equations. Starting somewhere around basic calculus, he just can't wrap his mind around the problem. Fred's a logical person, he's right where all of the common-sense stuff is concerned, and he's a great poker player. Ginger Rogers makes mistakes. She makes lots of mistakes. In fact, in every problem she tries to solve, she has a 50% chance of [censored] up. What's 3+3? "7." What's the largest mammal? "The shrew." How many fingers am I holding up? "Erk - NaN." But Ginger can handle any kind of problem. She consistently scores 60 on the Putnam exam, and if she sets out to prove the Goldbach conjecture, she has a 50% chance of success. Yes, no matter what the problem is, Ginger has a 50% chance of solving it. Ginger is often seen as irrational due to her mistakes, and she frequently hemorrhages money in poker. So, who's smarter? |

madnak, Ginger of course. Everyone knows Ginger did everything Fred did in heels going backwards. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ginger is an impossibility.
It would take a parlay of many 50% error free steps (on 3+3 =7 type ones) for her to solve difficult problems. D |

I voted fred, since there's so much he is infallible on. If you increase Ginger's chance of success to 80% or something it gets harder for me.

I don't think its even close. Because Ginger never knows if she's right.
For Ginger to exist, she cannot be aware of her limitations. |

Ginger appears to be some sort of freakish idiot savant.

Fred is smarter because he's more likely to know his limitations on what problems he is qualified to weigh in on with certainty.
