[AccessD] OT- Ftiday Humor (Einstein Quiz)

Susan,	It's also a 'simplistic' form of logic in that a clue(s) are used
only once.  Most of the good logic puzzles are designed to have some or all
of the clues be used more than once.  And they often have a more complicated
gridwork.  This was not difficult to solve at all.

BTW - I don't believe Einstein could have possibly authored this particular
puzzle!

Well JC, I got it right, but not truly using logic -- I guess it is a form
of logic, but not in the sense we've come to think of logic -- as "deducing"
a conclusion from facts. I won't tell you the key I used, unless you really
get stuck -- but frankly -- I think it's kind of like if a rooster lays an
egg on top of the barn, which way does it fall? ;)
