Dude, being good at trivia totally makes you smart. And a millionaire if you play your cards right with Alex Trebek. Quit stomping on my Jeopardy dreams, man.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's some anecdote Bob points to all the time, about how someone really smart-- Feynman, maybe-- scored rather low on an IQ test, and people theorized it was because he could make even "wrong" answers work.
They sometimes have these banner ads at the NYT that are very much like questions to an IQ test. One they have is where there is 4 different numbers and you're supposed to pick the one that doesn't belong. I managed to make a case for each posiblilty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, being rich doesn't make you smart, either. Nor vice versa. I'm just saying.
Now I have to get my learn on.

I did get it, thanks to ita and her whitefont. But I'm not sure how long it would have taken if not for that. It might just never have occurred to me. What does that mean?

I really don't think it means anything.
Or maybe it means that the stupid puzzle annoyed me, so I read the whitefonts (as I wanted to know the answer before I left work).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That you're a naive and trusting soul (like me). Nothing to be ashamed of.

Just little jokes. I know neither trivia knowledge nor riches = intelligence. Just funning on the fact that I always feel a little bit smarter when I watch Jeopardy and know the answers, especially during these "Ultimate Champions Challenge" days.
I am going to eat some chocolate chip cookies and drink coffee. Now that's the true key to intelligence.
eta: Shiny number!

Okay, if it's all about the title of the game, shouldn't it be petals around the roseS? Lame.

Ditto. I don't know as I ever would have got the answer. I usually think I am good at that stuff.

Okay, I will figure out this stupid puzzle. Goddamit.
