Needs a little bit of help.

You can say:

"There were many brilliant students, but I, a stupid person, came and solved a small problem that they couldn't."

"There were many brilliant students, but I, a stupid person, came and solved a small problem that none of them could."

Answer 2

No. It is not correct. I will not offer the reason it is not correct because that was not your question.

Answer 3

Sentences require coherence in the use of tense. Here ,since the sentence belongs to simple past tense,the verb" solve " should be turned into " solved ".

Answer 4

Yes, it is fine as written, although there are many ways to express the same thought.

Answer 5

“Solve” should be changed to past tense: “solved.”  Then you’re good.
