smarter?

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

- Albert Einstein

Now this statement is so true and a similar quote I would share with others when they would find out I was a chemistry major in college.  "Oh, you must be really smart!" some new acquaintance would say.  I would reply, "No, but I am willing to pound my head against a wall to figure out a question longer than you are."
