So what do you tell someone that doesn't have enough intelligence to "figure it out?" Like talking to a child, you err in the direction of safe.
When I was young, my dad used to say "figure it out" a lot. I thought he was kind of being an azzhol. Now that I'm older than he was then, I know he was just frustrated that I wasn't trying to figure things out rather than just asking questions instead. I get frustrated when people lack common sense and lack the ambition to figure things out, etc. But I'm probably just being an azzhol. 8-)

I also now know that things that just seem "duh" to me, don't to others. Just like higher level abstract math proofs and music performance make sense to some, but not to me.
