Ron,

If Einstein DID create the puzzle, he would not have to be classed with
Nostradamus

Born: 14 March 1879 in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany
Died: 18 April 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey, USA

So the 20's - 30's cigarette brand he would have know about, since he was
alive at the time.

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)!
