Elsa Löwenthal was both Einstein's first cousin and his second cousin, in case you are curious.

What does a family tree need to look like for that to occur? Not sure if I even want to know to be honest.

Nothing sinister. In large families, you sometimes have a male Smith marry a female Jones, and then a female Smith marry a male Jones. In that case, the children are related through both mother's family and father's family. In other words, your mom's brother is your uncle by blood and your uncle by marriage.

That would be WWIV. In Roman numerals, when you are one number away from the next new numeral, you put the one (I) in front of the new numeral. So four is IV, nine is IX, and so on.

Most of the time. In some contexts and times IIII is also used (pretty common on clocks).

Always thought actor Jack Albertson bore a strong resemblance to Einstein. (grandfather from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"; the man from "Chico and the Man")

You should check out Albertson in "The Subject Was Roses," his Oscar-winning performance. The movie also stars Patricia Neal, and Martin Sheen in his second film role.

I mean at first I thought that advanced as an answer was an like an normal adjective for the institute .There are 5 institutes in my area with the same name. But I looked it up on wiki , the one that Einstein attended was really an Iconic one. Great Quiz :P

No question about Mileva Maric? She was his first wife and also his colleague (a mathematician and a physician). They were married for 16 years

I'd like quizmakers to stop using the term "Can you guess..." for these quizzes, we're not guessing for most of the answers, if we're getting most of them right we know the answers, therefore there is no guessing involved.

Ok

Thank you

Rant over.

I disagree.

It invites the quiztaker to select the best answer, to accommodate some "I know what you're asking for" logic and to do it in a way that's described by the looseness of the directions. It provides a useful freedom that isn't provided by a strict interpretation of answers as correct, or completely correct.

Of course it doesn't stop nitpicky arguments, but it does provide an accurate and flexible instruction that's more useful than if it invited more strictness, and I prefer it.

Ran out of time on my first attempt. Usually quizzes like this would have at least 4 minutes to allow time to think, right? Maybe I'm just less educated on Einstein than the average JetPunker. Or maybe it's because I spent over a minute guessing random German cities only for the answer to be Swiss.
