| Mind you, this is just one round of papers that I used. |
So, my birthday is March 14. That's 3-14 or 3.14 to some. That's Pi. Also born that day is mad genius (or mad stealing from his wife's genius) Albert Einstein. We are intellectually similar because we were born on the same day (and because I made that up and say it is so).
Last night I was introduced to Einstein's Riddle by a coworker. How I have never heard of this, I don't know. But, I have spent a good portion of the night working on it. I think I know the answer, but I am not completely sure. It's that damn water drinker part that's throwing me. So, I am going with a guess. I'm throwing my answer out as German, but that is mainly because I'm tired trying. No I'm not. I am going to take this home and work on it some more. If nothing, I am compulsive.
So, can you do it? Go for it. Work on it. Help me with this damn thing! It's driving me nuts. I am having trouble stopping to play Scrammble with Friends, and that's a sad addiction I have. That should say something. Not about the riddle, just about how pathetic I actually am!
