I reckon what they really mean is that 2% of people would have noticed that mistake , lol.Albert Einstein (German pronunciation (help·info)) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist.

As you rightly point out , Hint 16 is a real problem

Thems not cigars, mate, them cigarettes and I really doubt AE would stuff around with this high school stuff!ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE 6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. .
yep... just poor English (or bad tranlation from the German).
and also maybe many more morals and messages, e.g.even the smartest of the smart don't ace the sharemarket all the time
Five girls, all big baseball fans, met on opening day at the ball park. Once there, each discovered that all the other girls had the same idea she did. All had brought a baseball card of their favorite player or players in hopes of getting autographs (two girls had two favorite players). In addition, each girl’s card(s) was of a different type (one was a "parallel" card). No two girls had the same favorite player. From the provided clues, determine each girl's favorite player or players by the position he plays, his uniform number (including #25) and the type of card brought to the game.
No girl brought cards of more than one position. No two girls brought cards of players who play the same position.
Sharon brought the "error/corrected" versions of cards which featured her two favorite players, who do not play first base.
Players #18 and #27 play the same position.
The girl whose favorite player is a third baseman brought a "rookie" card.
Lucy’s favorite player is an outfielder.
The catcher, #8, is not featured on the "error/corrected" card. He is not Rachel's favorite.
Sarah brought two "insert" cards to the game.
Tiffany did not bring the "best" card.
#29 and #47 are pitchers. #10 is not an outfielder.
7. Logic Problems for Children
The easier puzzles at the beginning of LP mags are well within the capabilities of children. Even 5-year-olds enjoy doing simple LPs with the help of a parent. It's a good parent-child activity for spending time together as the child learns logical thinking and enjoys the work of completing the charts.
There is also a tool with which to infect toddlers with a hankering after Logic Puzzles. My wife found a Little Golden Book among our children's books which is a Logic Puzzle book for toddlers. It's called Hi Ho! Three in a Row by Louise Woodcock with pictures by illustrator Eloise Wilkin (copyright 1954), and it is full of little rhymes and pictures which require a peewee-size bit of logical deduction by the toddler.
For example, a typical rhyme (alongside a relevant picture) is
Hi Ho!
Three boys in a row,
Dan and Billy and Joe.
Billy has a boat
And Joe wears a coat.
Which of the boys is Dan? Do you know?
Then there's Bachelor Binge:-

Five authors have just sent their latest murder stories to the publishers - so we all look forward to reading them soon. In the meantime, however, we intend to completely spoil your enjoyment of the novels, by inviting you to solve the problem of who murdered whom, as well as the motive involved and the location of the story!
1. Neither the butler nor the plumber committed the murder (which took place in Brighton) for the sake of an inheritance.
2. The revenge killing didn't take place in Fishguard or Dunoon.
3. The artist didn't murder the partner (who was neither the victim killed in revenge nor the one murdered as the result of a power struggle).
4. The dentist murdered a cousin (but not for revenge or love) in Halifax.
5. The sister wasn't murdered in Brighton or Fishguard;
6. and the victim in Fishguard wasn't the one killed for the love of someone.
7. The butler didn't murder his partner.
8. In the novel in which the solicitor murders someone, the motive is power, but didn't involve the killing of a friend.
