    there really isn't anything special about this puzzle. i did it a while ago. it's just a standard logic puzzle and i don't remember having to do anything exceptional to get the answer. i found it on braingle and the intro to it made it seem like it was really difficult.

    Lol my teacher in my advanced learning class in like 6th grade gave us this puzzle. I hope Einstein didn't seriously waste his time on this crap. And i'm about 99.9% certain he wouldn't. Why would one of the smartest theorists to ever live waste his time inventing a brain teaser for 12 year olds?
