Awww that's so sweet.

She truly is the strongest

Cirno love

Cirno calling herself a genius. What's next? The new Queen of Popsicles?

Of course...

....this ALSO means she wasn't teachable. Remember, Patchy was trying to teach the fairies that Meiling's name was written Hong Meiling but pronounced China.

Cirno was either smarter than them and knew the truth...
....or she wasn't smart enough to learn it. :)

I'd say smarter. Cirno is after all one of the few fairies that can read.. :P

There is no proof that Patchy taught the fairies anything.
It seemed to me that Patchy was just getting Meiling out of trouble.

Patchy quite clearing in this is trying to get people to call Meiling China. Though I am somewhat curious as to why she's do that...

Cirno is really the smartest. After all, we already know that she counts in base 9 naturally.

Cirno's so stupid she loops back around to smart?

added hard translated version

post #439608 supports your theory whole-heartedly.

Or it simply means she's smarter than "dirt-stupid" and thus not gullible enough to be fooled. Cirno's not bright, but she's smarter as well as stronger than most fairies.

patchouli was so surprised! "Knowledge" isn't that wise!

...Okay now she's a poet to. *Slow applaude*

and everyone somehow seems to be forgetting that Cirno was the only one to know what was going on in PoFV from the beginning. She's actually a slow learner, but what she does know she remembers pretty well. Meiling had been trying to tell everyone from the beginning that her name wasn't China, and Cirno somehow learned that. She's perceptive, but not smart...if that makes any sense...

«Well, she can't outsmart me, 'cause I'm a moron!»

Well, I should say that she isn't even a slow learner. She is indeed smart and maybe even a genius(Well, among the fairies she is a genius undoubtedly), but her problem is that she just luke other fairies doesn't bother to seek knowledge like humans. She just wants to have fun, not to learn about the world.
...disregard that, it isn't a problem, she lives better that way. And if she wants to know something... she will learn it, and quite fast. So never ever let her to talk to Okuu outside the nuclar furnace.

Because Patchy is actually kind of an abrasive, snarky asshole. (Granted, that's a description that applies to almost everyone in Gensokyo).
