If you think your deductive reasonings are good enough, go ahead and 
give it a try. There is no trick to this puzzle, and it is recommended
that 
you use pencil and paper to help you find the answer.

You are encouraged to post whatever answer you've come up with on 
the list..

BTW, this puzzle was reported to be from Einstein himself. Yes, 
_that_ famous Einstein. If you can figure out the answer, according to
Einstein, 
you are among the top 2% most intelligent person in this world.
