Rolls for the Czar

What is Intelligence, at least?

        In Rolls for the Czar, by R. Kinkead, and in What is Intelligence, Anyway? by Isaac Asimov, intelligence light upons varied forms. The two types of intelligence referred to be bear smarts and tender wit. In the first story, Markov the baker demonstrates quick wit, while in the second story, Isaac Asimov ironically does not.

        In Rolls for the Czar, Markov the baker, who we assume to be a simpleton, shows remarkable quick wit by cleverly saving himself from the Czars wrath.

I agree about the words in conclusion. Itry to stay away from those words and those equal them as much as i can. But on another note, How did you like Asimovs work? Im a big fan, and if you want it, try reading some of his Sci-Fi stuff, like the Foundation series, and the zombi novels. :)
