Are fruit flies smart?

Question

Are fruit flies smart?

Answer 1

Yo! Jong! They eat sh*t! How smart can they be?

Answer 2

No, we're just dumb.

By 'we', I meant everyone but me.

Not because I have moderately arrogant and somewhat overly optimistic view of my intelligence level, I just don't like looking stupid... and for this reason I probably am.

Good day to you.

Answer 3

l`ve run an English pub for twelve years. Due to the little "blighters", l have changed pest control companies 3 times. Once they`re in, they breed and stay. They "multiply" in areas that no amount of surface cleaning will rectify!  All the gadgets do is keep their numbers down. The only way, as i understand to rid yourself of these is to expose them to cold temperatures. Having a pub and leaving the doors and windows open in the winter, overnight, in my area is not recommended! In answer to your question, no amount of gadgets or cleaning can get rid of them, so in one way that makes them smarter than me for sure. But then again, i`m a publican!
