Smartest Characters.
 

I would have to go with Chuck.
Chuck basically saved 2 people's lives (If Lee fails it) by telling Lee that Clem has to learn how to shoot.

I think molly is quite smart, you would probably have to be smart to adapt as well as she seems to have.

Doug was the smartest.
Hershel seemed pretty smart. Andy was smart (you could see his university degree in the house). Vernon is obviously smart as he was a doctor before the apocalypse.

Lee, duh. He lived through 5 episodes til the end.

Only Clem can say that as well and she just dragged Lee down. Tsk tsk.

..... but I still <3 her.

The one's that stayed in their WW2 style nuke bunkers and didn't come out.

My cousin is the biggest dumbf*ck I've ever seen, and yet, he's a doctor... Anyway; Doug, Hershel (comics), and Molly seem to be the smartest characters of the game. Even without looking at his degree, Andy seemed to be pretty smart too.

Doug is #1. Andy is propbably second and Vernon third, because both managed to deceive Lee pretty well. Andy also looked like a smart guy and acted like it, fixing the generator and helping Katjaa.

Raw Brainpower?

I'd say.... in this order.

Doug
Lee
Chuck
Christa

Lee's still the smartest one with us, so while we all brainlessly point guns at a door instead of barricading it, we'll let him find a way out.

I'd say Lee is the most logical, while still having enough creativity to find his way out of a difficult problem, making him the most usefully smart. By raw smartness it would probably be Doug, though.

In the military we would say you have two type of people

1) Common sense


2) Book smart


#1 Shall get you past many situations. (Lee,Carly,Lilly,Chuck)

#2 is good to build shit but shall put there hand in a lions mouth. (Doug,Campman,St johns)

Lilly was the smartest, imo. She could have easily survived a long time in the apocalypse. I want to know what happened to her after the prison.

Totally. She was the only one to notice supplies were missing. She was paranoid, yeah, but quite smart and adaptable.

In everyone else's defense, Lilly was lying to them about how many supplies they had left, if I recall. Lee can tell her that nothing has gone missing, and she admits that she's been changing the totals in what she reports out to the team.

Or I could be off my rocker and misremembering.

Lee... because I played as him.

Doug, followed by Lee, then Chuck.

When is that supposed to have happen? This is the first time I hear about this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H217zmQH9M -- About 23 minutes in here; though, on re-watching, its possible she means someone is messing with the count, not that she has two separate counts.

The count is getting messed with, but because she's a smart gal, she's keeping a count of her own too. That's how she knows somebody is stealing supplies. So yeah, there are two counts :)

Right; what I meant is that there's a count somewhere in public and the thief is manipulating that count, not that Lilly was (like I thought when I played through the game.) I first thought Lilly was fixing that count to match with what was being stolen to not worry people, but now I think what is more likely is one day Lilly thought: "Hey, didn't we have more of that?"

Then she started keeping a private list of her own. Which makes more sense and makes her seem less paranoid, but more justifiably paranoid.
