    It might make you more alert and attentive, but it doesn't increase intelligence.

    haven't heard about this but my instinct tells me that you might be a bit quicker but prob not smarter, well unless you sleep less and 'study' more :)

    Sure in some cases people may react quicker, think quicker etc but this doesn't mean there smarter, just means there more responsive. Caffeine does not however effect everybody in the same way, some people upon taking caffeine find themselves tired and get the opposite effect so does that mean because they get the opposite effect they'd be getting dumber? no it just means they'd be temporarily slower.
    You can't gauge smartness on the speed somebody thinks.

    At least you can think up things much faster and get rid of all the stupid answers quicker (hopefully).

    I don't believe so, being a person that can't take too much caffine, it only makes me go crazy, grumpy, and jibber jabber annoyingly. If there is something that you can consume to make you smarter (besides omega-3 from our fishy friends, or so they say.) be sure to let me know. :-)

    But it can improve your concentration so that you may study and intake knowledge longer thereby technically making you smarter.
