They are stupid, but also stupidly hard to kill. One of the few species that is dumb enough to live in a world inflicted with nuclear winter.

a roach can live without its head for a long period of time until it dies from starvation.

So how dumb can an animal be if it can continue its life without its head... hehehe

That's his very very cunning way of making you think it's dumb, while he's preparing a plan of taking control over the world. When it's on its back his nerve cells work much faster.

in how far can you call them stupid: their kind seems to florish, so i guess we must say they arent stupid...

or what is your definition of stupid ?

been capable (or in this case not capable) of solving math problems ? i'd rather say creating math problems is stupid, but that might just be me.

I saw a documentary about roaches. They are actually pretty neat. They can detect very small vibrations in the air and a human footstep even in the other room is a big one for them so they can hide easily in time.
