I highly doubt Einstein designed a logic grid puzzle…

That being said, it’s pretty standard. Took me a little bit.

It was Jimmy Einstein who came up with that one.

Which Einstein were you thinking of? :rolleyes:

This was a good riddle!

It took me about 15 - 20 minutes.

I used excel so that Ii could keep it organized in a grid and change and modify things easily. I started off getting the ones I knew for sure were correct and shaded them grey. Then I made a guess and went from there. Luckily, I guessed correctly and did not have to back track.
