I saw this years ago and didn't solve it then but interestingly enough, it probably wasn't Einstien that wrote the puzzle:

And Einstien never cluttered his mind with anything other than his work. He resused to even memorize phone numbers.

Woo, glad I'm not in the top 2%. That would hurt thinking about that kind of stuff while fishing.
