Kool cigarettes are figured out in the famous Einstein’s zebra puzzle. The zebra puzzle is an often reproduced puzzle from the group of logicals, which can therefore be solved by logical conclusions. Often the puzzle is also published as Einstein’s riddle with the note allegedly from Albert Einstein that only 2% of the world’s population could solve this puzzle. In fact, however, there is no reference to the author, in particular not to Einstein’s involvement. Marketed in this way, it is probably the most famous logical ever, although it has no outstanding features compared to other logicals. Maybe, because Kool cigarettes are given there.
