einsteins riddle is just an advanced lsat game very simple if set up right.

Ahhhhh . . . this brings back memories. My roommate one year scored 95th percentile or better on every section of the LSAT except the one with the logic problems. When he gets his score back and I start giving him a hard time, he tries to prove how hard they are by telling me to do them.

Unbeknownst to him, my mother subscribed to the Dell crossword puzzle magazine, which contains a logic problem of the Einstein variety rather than the simplified LSAT one, and I had been doing them as a game since I was a little kid. I don't think I ever told him why I was able to whiz through that part of the LSAT; I just let him think he was stupid.

3) Portrait.
4) Sentence #5.

The Einstein problem isn't tough it just tedious. I have done questions like that before it just requires brainless tedious work.

in the spelling bee 2 years ago the letter "h" was spelled "aitch", so I'm not sure if that's it or not, there could easily be two spellings, don't know though

o, ok, the spelling bee is where i got it form, i guess i remembered it wrong...

Please show me where it's wrong, because I can see this working perfectly.

I'm not sure you understand how incorrect that is.

Say they balance on the first weighing, and on the second weighing the left side is heavier. So either A) one of the two on the left is too heavy, or B) one of the two on the right is too light.

Tell me, what will you weigh now to completely determine the off stone? Say you weigh one heavy and one light and they balance... then you're down to two stones and zero weighings.

This took me over an hour to solve when I first heard it, and several paragraphs to explain the ins and outs of the solution to.
