This is more of a matter of perception rather than intelligence. This is why
I stated earlier that the IQ characteristic is more than just plain
intelligence or the ability to learn faster.  The concept of noticing secret
doors/traps etc.  is not a matter of intelligence but perception which is
both cognitive and sensory.  More than likely because of lack of experience,
Einstein would fall into a covered pit trap without training but not in this
game as he has a high IQ.    But then again he would learn a lot faster from
the experience.
