What is an Einstein Puzzle?
An Einstein puzzle is a logic puzzle that involves a scenario with several clues, constraints, and a series of deductions to be made to arrive at a unique solution. The puzzle is named after Albert Einstein, although there is no evidence to suggest that he actually created it.
My take on this puzzle presents a scenario involving a 5 elves. Each elf has a name, a favorite color, a favorite toy to make, a special skill and a reindeer they look after. The goal is to use deductive reasoning to find the correct arrangement that satisfies all the provided conditions.
