We used to think only humans did problem solving and tool use. Then we admitted that primates were that smart. Since then we keep finding out that everything is smarter than we thought. I know people who do not problem solve that well.
You wait, they will find out that earth worms can solve problems and maybe use tools. I am pretty sure spiders are that smart.
