I have to agree 100 percent with DarkCloud. Annabeth is the smartest. Also the only people who dont have an excuse to not knowing those monsters are Percy and Annabeth. We dont know how they teach things in Camp Jupiter so Hazel, Frank and Jason are off the hook. Leo and Piper were selected to be on of the 7 and they didnt have time to learn those things (mostly Leo since he was fixing Argo 2). Piper was too busy being worried and trying to enjoy her time with Jason and frankly i dont think she cared about that. I dont think Jason cared enough to learn those monsters the 6 or 8 months he was there(in my mind it is 6 and will always be 6) he just thought that he would lead and and that they would probably die so he wanted to spend alot of time with Piper. Nico was barely at camp and learned things on his own and most of the things he knows involves the underworld.
