[AccessD] OT- Ftiday Humor (Einstein Quiz)

I agree Susan.  I've seen logic puzzles in Dell magazines that are ten times
harder.  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)!

==========I sent the puzzle and the link off to a couple of urban legend
sites to see if they could find out -- haven't heard anything yet. But, I
doubt it's Einstein material either -- well, he might have really come up
with it, but surely the 2% population remark is incorrect. Everyone I've
sent it to that's tried it has solved it. I am not part of that 2%
population the quiz (erroneously) referred to -- nor are most of the people
I know and am related to. We're smart enough, but we're not that smart! ;)
