Your Einstein's Riddle page says that Einstein wrote the riddle "early in the 19th century".  Einstein was born in 1876.  You may have meant to say "early in the 20th century"....or simply put...the early 1900's.

Thanks

Actually, it's more of a clue that Einstein most likely had nothing to do with this riddle.

Most of the factual claims on this web site are false.  They are jokes and fun to read, not a reliable news story.

A prime examples are the "True Story" about Neil Armstrong.  Neil Armstrong repeatedly denied it ever took place.

Another is the Chicken gun.  The TV show Mythbusters has demonstrated that a Chicken fired by a Chicken Gun does the same amount of damage if it is frozen or defrosted.  And the US officially tests birds in both conditions, just to be sure.

Anyone who makes a serious hobby of telling jokes knows that you always start out the joke with "True story, I was..."  It used to be that people would figure it out when they got to the punchline.  Sadly we as a society have lost our skills both at story-telling and at critical thinking.  (I suspect these losses are related.)  In any case, in the unlikely event that a real, honest-to-goodness, true story is ever posted, it will contain a reference to it's source.
