It's obvious that the title of this thread should be "
Gin vs. Ran: Who is your favorite?", because 11 people so far have voted for their favorite character, and not for whom they really think is the smartest. Typical from the Ran fans, sadly.

Ran, of course. Gin couldn't have guessed Conan's PIN password 8)
Ran shared 16/17 years of life with Shinichi, Gin doesn't even remember who the heck Shinichi is. You do the math? 8)

Ran. She has driven the best detective of Japan in the corner 4 times already!
Ran is smarter than Shinichi himself? Is that what you're trying to say?

And Gin was stupid for running away in episode 1, without being 100% sure that Shinichi died.
I don't see how running away after giving someone a poisonous drug while the police is still nearby is stupid.
Oh wait, maybe Gin should have stayed there until the police comes and puts him in jail. Then he'd be considered smart?

How is Gin smarter "by far"? Not many characters solve cases without Conan's help or can parallel his thinking. Ran was one of them, so she's actually ahead of Haibara in practice (no, looking for a pattern on a map or recognizing the gender of a corpse aren't nearly as impressive as a multi-step deduction). Only reason I didn't put Ran ahead of Haibara was the same reason I put Eri ahead of Ran, back story asserted intelligence (no Harvard scholarships or wonder drug research for Ran yet).
Ran is also smarter than Haibara? Wow, Ran is obviously the smartest character in DC.
