[AccessD] OT- Ftiday Humor (Einstein Quiz)

I took me about 25 minutes with a pee break, after laying out a grid to hold
the explicit clue info and the derived info.  But I can't say I used logic
purely.  This is a classic Logic Problem like you see in Dell publications.
I used to do a lot of them.  Next time you go to a magazine rack, look for
the Dell Crossword mags and next to them you should see one call Logic
Problems.  If you like this sort of thing they're a lot of fun.

Anyway, after laying out the initial grid and marking the straightforward
clues, it's pretty much an algorithmic process.

It's the German.
