my coworker bought a book of these types of riddles, much more difficult i think... i guess mainly because they kept building on each other. mess up one, it's all downhill.

Well, I finally got it but I don't think I can actually finish it all the way. Does it really give you enough info to complete it?

yes, there is enough info to finish it.

I just did it...I got German = Fish owner.

Make a grid to help eliminate possibilities. Sometimes you have to connect 2-3 hints together to come up w/ some elimination.

It requires lots of problem solving but is fun at the same time.
 
Well, I'm not quite sure how he wrote this riddle this century, but ok.

I think you're not supposed to write anything down or anything like that when you do this, its supposed to be all in the mind. The reason I believe this is that I just got back from my psych class and the instructor showed us some questions that are on IQ tests and one was similar (but much simpler) to this one. He said that for the IQ tests you're not allowed to write anything down, and most of the people couldn't solve it.

It doesn't sound like something Einstein would have spent time doing to me. He didn't seem to like coming up with riddles for other people to solve, but just my opinion.
 
Sounds like something a grade teacher made and, thinking themselves exceedingly clever, named it "Einstein's Riddle" as a further pat on the back. As someone's mentioned its just those grid problems. Sure it'll be big but it's still solvable.
