You don’t need to be able to generate the answer to your hard problem yourself, only to check that the superintelligence’s offered answer is correct. These two abilities are equivalent if computing resources are unlimited, but you could run the superintelligence for a limited time… This line of thought seems to lead into the jungle of complexity theory and you should probably take my comments with a grain of salt :-)
