That's called being clever. Being smart means being able to achieve your objective WITHOUT using your knowledge and revealing what you know.
If you can achieve your objectives without revealing what you know, that is not just smart but also brilliant. :p
Looks like you have already defined brilliant as being one level above smart. Otherwise, we will have to start figuring out what's the difference between brilliant and smart.

Not just one level above.............. many levels. :p
There are also several levels of smart. That's why people came up with the phrases book-smart, street-smart, etc.
We are also frequently advised to work smart (i.e. not too hard) or dress smart (i.e. not too sloppily). :p
Clever people who create problems are usually described as "too clever by half". :p
I remember the movie starring Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway. Very funny movie. :p
The movie was based on a very old tv series called Get Smart. Never watched it but must be quite good since it was created by Mel Brooks.
Mel Brooks' works can suitably be described as both smart and funny. :p
That's not the difference, it's the similarity. Not such a smart and clever answer after all. :p
Mel Brooks was married to Anne Bancroft. She was Mrs Robinson in The Graduate. :p
Don't know much about this movie, except that the theme song was written by Paul Simon.
Another thing about the movie was that Dustin Hoffman was in it. :p
