he wrote this in the 19th century and believe that 98% of the world can't figure this out

lets see if you can do it?

shouldn't take that long if you're a logical person, finished it in about 6-7 minutes

[J____]

i did it in 20 but was eating and watching olympics at the same time. cool

[CanadaGoose]

Fun!




*First spoiler is a hint*
Use the empty space to the right of the instructions to pair up known facts... http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/200/einsteinsriddle.jpg

[Presto]

Yeah... no biggee. Slap down the obvious ones, and then wade through the hints that are there. I kept all the loose grouped according to the hints, and had them lined up the same way in the answer, so it got to a point where things just drop into the slots due to process of elimination.

[Liquid_o2]

Got it! Took about 15 minutes for me. I got stuck for about 5-6 minutes until it started to suddenly snowball.

[The_AK]

about 8 minutes, you have to try different scenarios for the ones you don't know

[fishing666]

it's too hard im part of the 1% that didn't get it

[EX-R]

took me a few tries but i finally got it!

clue 10 and 15 is tricky

[rien]

it's too hard im part of the 1% that didn't get it

you mean 98%

[Spaceship_coupe]

Nice riddle! Took me about 10 mins, should've been shorter but was texting at the same time. I paired them like Presto and clicked on the clue once I knew where they went.

[ajax]

you mean 98%

No surprise, he didn't get it.

[Manic!]

Took me 4 tries.

[tonyvu]

took me 2 tries and about 30 mins

[Mercy]

took 11 minutes

Sorry to burst any bubbles, but this riddle has nothing to do with Einstein (it's just a renamed version of the zebra puzzle) and you are not particularly intelligent if you solved it. But don't worry, you're still a smart person! ;)

In other words, you weren't able to solve it :lol

8 minutes, 1st try 25/25. :D

It's all about grouping cards together by facts. Then once you start filling in what you know from the other facts, eventually entire clusters suddenly fit in. I'd say the last 50% of the grid got filled in in the final 30s.

10 min... timed using family guy

i'm not sure the connection to einstein as whoever was voicing about

this game has a similar playing strategy as sudoku... so just use your solving skill

[True.True]

eezy peezy

[StylinRed]

took about 5mins; watching 'Seasons of Fate'

pretty fun puzzles are great.

there's been some other puzzles that have been out with like $1million prize.. or was it $100k.... if people could solve it within a year

think they were held in Britain... cant remember the name of it though arghh -_-

[fishing666]

you mean 98%

oh i mean 2% since everyone else here got it except me. or the riddle maker decides to challenge your intelligence by saying 98% of the world probably won't get it.

in the end it's just work. grouping each static category then filling in the elastic possibilities by trial and error basically. i was doing it for 2minutes then i realized i didn't want to do it anymore. but if i had kept doing it, it would take me another 15mins i think.

and with everyone else being able to do it in thread, there's no artificial reward of being smart anymore

[StylinRed]

u don't have to trial and error at all... the answers are there without guessing


and yeah this is just the zebra puzzle as skinny noted

people attributed it to einstein and some other guy but no evidence suggests that and actually went against it (according to wiki)

Nope it's not hard if you have a functioning brain and a few spare minutes. Unfortunately I am lacking in the latter department, so you're right, I didn't finish it. I didn't start it either though ;)
