Knowledge is the answer to the question 'why?'. Knowledge, as they say, is wealth. But what use is any wealth that can't help us? That brings us to another question -- 'how?'. How do I do this? How do I do that? How does the chicken cross the road? How on earth am I going to write an essay on intelligence? ;) etc etc etc. Now answering those requires intelligence, esp. more so if you are pretending to answer that last bit.
'How?' So where does the answers come from? From our knowledge of course! We compile that knowledge with a little bit of creativity and get new 'solutions' to the problems. Or... do we? The Zen says that there is nothing like a problem and the solution. Everything is the same. The object and subject is one and the same. Then what are these so called solutions? They are nothing but a perspective of the problem. And the intelligence is the way of looking at 'knowledge'
