I have been a fan of Einstein. But
I never knew he had left us a puzzle that was so interesting. I am not sure if
this is a real Einstein creation but it definitely got a touch of a genius. I
enjoyed each moment of solving the problem.

People claim only 2% of world’s
population is capable of solving this puzzle.
So I took that as a challenge. You see being a Aries you simply cant bear to be
outside the elite.

Solving the puzzle will give you a
feeling of victory like never before. LOL
Initially it looked like I would blow up my mind. Then I took a mathematical
approach. You cant simple solve the damn thing just by staring at the clues.
Get your pencil and notepad.
Use a tabular layout like cross words puzzles and fill in empty cells with
clues one by one.
