Hey... being smart simplifies some aspects of problem solving, but being smart isn’t necessary to solving problems. One of the better engineers I worked with, while very slow, was extremely thorough. If you had a long-horizon project that had to go at absolutely light speed, you’d set him on the project; two years down the road and the core “inner loops” would be a non-issue. Even Mike Abrash admitted this guy was the absolute pinnacle for this sort of programming.
