I find out that Einstein created a series of riddles. What is interesting is that in Einstein's time he considered only 2% would solve the riddle below. In our time the creation of a logic grid (like a truth table) to manage boolean logic is common. Basic boolean logic dominated computer and information management disciplines by the 1970's. Computer spreadsheets in the 1980's made possible the analysis and display of row and column data. It made complicated oral descriptions simple. In fact, it seems to me that we completed the move from the oral tradition to the visual tradition with computer spreadsheets.
