This puzzle has very little to do with intelligence and a lot more to do with patience. I remember doing this exact puzzle in the seventh grade and many others remember doing it. Now, if this many people(My entire school district and many other people on this site) have all solved this problem, then by what logic would you be smarter than 98% of the other people on earth for solving it.
Well It's Obvious he was wrong. Did he ever ask the entire population of the world the question? No. He really should have gotten some better results.Souplex said:
(Sidenote: This isn't all that hard, I did it in class in the 8th grade and only 5 kids out of 34 couldn't solve it in the class period.)
Loads of people probably answered the question correctly since me, but the

The German; I already figured this one out a few months ago. Took me about 4 hours to finish up the chart I made for it.
Not NOW, at least. People can just ask the internet, and more than likely, those kids were sitting at the same table. Took me well over a class period to do it, so that's pretty good. Then again, it was late, and I was pretty tired as well as multitasking when I was solving it. Plus, the increases in academic standards are enormous in this day and age as compared to Einstein's lifetime. He was probably accurate, but it's now dated and invalid information.+Calhoun347 said:

I've always loved these puzzles, but I'm having trouble filling out the rest of my tables.
Norwegian owns the fish, lives in the leftmost yellow house, smokes Dunhill, and drinks water.
I've answered that question before... it took me a long time, but I got it right. That being said, how is that Einstein came up with that statistic? Clearly, the majority of people who put their minds to it actually DO figure it out, so I'd wager that it's more along the lines of 60-70% of people ARE capable of figuring it out.
