I would suggest "clever." Clever is related more to having good ideas and solving problems well rather than knowing a lot of facts.
"Wise" is more likely to be used if the person is fairly old or somehow superior to other people.
"Intelligent" sounds the most formal, so it could be used if the situation formal.
"Smart" is very general, so it could be used in any situation, but would not have as specific a meaning.
Hope that helps.
