I just tried this and I checked my answer with the person who gave me the riddle... and I got it right! I'm pretty proud of myself, plus I thought it was fun, so I thought I would share it with you guys.
No Googling for the answer! It took me about a half an hour and a few pieces of paper, but I solved it on my own! When you think you've got the answer, PM me and I'll let you know if you solved the riddle.
Einstein created a riddle that he believed only 2% of the population
could solve... are you in that 2%?

smokes the same brand of cigarettes nor drinks the same drink.
