• Intelligent brains take longer to solve difficult problems - News - BIH at Charité: What a wonderfully misleading piece of science reporting. Here's the important part: "[...] the researchers could determine that brains with reduced functional connectivity literally “jump to conclusions” when making decisions, rather than waiting until upstream brain regions could complete the processing steps needed to solve the problem." In other words: "Intelligent brains take longer to solve difficult problems but do actually solve them correctly instead of literally jumping to wrong conclusions".
  In other news: the program that outputs "true" every time solves harder problems faster than correct programs.
