He could/would have done MUCH better. According to legend, Einstein created this puzzle in it's current form in the nineteenth century. But I have a problem with that attribution. I don't think the cigarette brand names used are from the nineteenth century. I believe they are from the 1920's-40's. So, either Einstein did NOT write this puzzle, or he was even smarter than we all recognized (as in prognostication - Move Over Nostradamus)! _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
