@Ron11 - I was talking to Hyperborean.

@Hyperborean - First of all, thanks for replying. You have proven your point. Just one problem, most of the examples you gave are Leo showing his skills in MECHANICS. Those are skills he inherited from his father, yet you have a problem about the skills Annabeth inherited from her mother, I'm talking about her knowledge about myths.

Whydoes she have to bother think of something new, when an old way/solution can work .... It's also like saying, why do Percy keep using his water powers? Do something else!!!

I'll try to list things Annabeth used her smarts, without referencing to myths.


 * As I mentioned in my earlier post, calculating the correct time to get the maximum lift off the boat.


 * Realising, Clarisse' vengeance on Percy, he used him as a bait for capture the flag.


 * The entire Mark of Athena, it's full of examples.


 * Tricking Arachne into making her own cage.


 * Finding a loop hole in Terminus' border rule.


 * Finding the weak point in the wall, to make it collapse in one attack.


 * Figuring out the meaning of the portraits.
