The intelligence of Pink SPOILERS

The anti-tipping was just him being cheap. Someone else was picking up the tab. If someone picks up your meal and says leave a buck for a tip, only cheapness would prevent that person.
But other than that, yeah, he's actually pretty spot on with what he figures out in terms of the inside man.

Yes, it was him being cheap. I thought the way he defended it showed some intelligence, however, although at the end of the day it was a smoke screen for being a cheap bastard.

Yes. He decides Blonde is not the "rat" on the grounds that he is too homicidal to be working for the cops. This may in part have been because he was afraid of Blonde, but he was right on two counts - that Blonde is not the undercover cop and that he is someone to be wary of.
Also, his stashing the diamonds from the heist showed some forethought. He is not the weak link in the gang. Orange being enrolled in it even though Joe is not "100%" about him, White imparting personal information, Blonde being a maniac (which does seem to come as a surprise to those who know him) - all these were nothing to do with Pink. Having said that, there are screw-ups on the police side as well, like a massacre happening despite the inside info they had.

I'm not entirely sure how that's the police's fault. Remember, Blonde was a last minute addition. And nobody knew he would become a maniac. His own partners were shocked by that.

True, but I have the feeling that they would have some explaining to do after the bloodbath, and some department heads might roll. They can hardly claim the robbery took them by surprise.

Of course not. It was a sting operation with an undercover cop. That means higher ups had signed off on it.
The bloodbath was not their fault.
In fact, as Pink said, they moved in as soon as the shooting started.
