In my experience the talents do not require one another, in the way I think you are thinking of it :) At its core math is logic. So yes better ability to solve logic puzzles will win here. However you can have those skills and not teach yourself physics/calculus/advanced algebra etc. Also regarding coding/problem solving talent - you can make a company many millions of dollars a year without ever taking calculus (I did it). Although, I like math, I just never made a huge investment in it. I am the kind of person to sit around and do math for fun, but I don't consider myself knowledgeable in that field.
