OK, so I hacked together a little page to play with this puzzle and thought I should share it. Take it with a grain of salt, as it is probably error prone and bug ridden...

bruteforced it. here's the solution:
6 + 1 - 6 = 1
1 * 2 + 1 = 3
2 * 6 / 3 = 4
3 - 3 + 2 = 2
4 / 4 * 5 = 5
5 + 5 - 4 = 6

1*2+1=3
2*6/3=4
3-3+2=2
4/4*5=5
5+5-4=6
6+1-6=1
And here's python script I wrote:
puzzle={

1:['-','/','+','+','*','*'],
2:['1','2','6','3','4','5'],
3:['-','-','+','/','+','*'],
4:['1','3','2','5','4','6'],
5:['1','3','4','2','5','6']}
l=len(puzzle[0])
x=len(puzzle.keys())
def solve(n=2,s=[0]):
if n==x:
for i in xrange(x):
temp=[''.join([puzzle[q][(s[q]+z)%l] for q in xrange(x-1)])+'=='+puzzle[x-1][(i+z)%l] for z in xrange(x)]
if all(map(eval,temp)):
for a in temp:
print a
else:
for i in xrange(x):
solve(n+1,s+[i])
solve()
Same script can also be used to solve similar puzzles.

I do so by figuring the number of clues that were filled in by intersecting solutions; permitting myself only one start.
So, in the example here, I scored 19. More interestingly - how do other people score their results? Ultimately, I'd like to figure out a least-cost route for solving the puzzle...

I also consulted this [handy site](http://www.wordbyletter.com/suffixes_list.php).
Hints:
* find the letters I mentioned, or make reasonable guesses
* Two of the words are number words (like "twelve", or "ten" - now of course, not these specific words!)
* I used the link above for the long word on the bottom
* By this point, you can figure out what vowel is in the last word
* 9 = R
See what that does for you... :D

It's a lot more difficult, there are a lot of words that can fit.
The singular letters must be A or I.
The letter after the apostrophes will be a T, D, or S.

both are possible and messages are opposites.

note that wikipedia says
> It is often called Einstein's Puzzle or Einstein's Riddle because it is said to have been invented by Albert Einstein as a boy, with the claim that Einstein said "only 2 percent of the world's population can solve it." The puzzle is also sometimes attributed to Lewis Carroll. However, there is no known evidence for Einstein's or Carroll's authorship; and the original puzzle cited below mentions brands of cigarette, such as Kools, that did not exist during Carroll's lifetime or Einstein's boyhood.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_Puzzle
i know that it's not always the most reliable of references, but this is a high-profile-enough topic (to geeks) that if there were really incontrovertible evidence of it really being authored by einstein, the wikipedia page would have been corrected by now.

The puzzel I posted does not have cigarettes it has cigars. Not cigarettes. The names are unfamilar, hence the version mentioned on Wiki is NOT the one I used in the problem. Secondly, reading the problem one notes the nationalities, German, Brit, Swed, Norweg. Dane...no Bolivan or Canadian, etc.
The version I posted seems to have been designed by a person to whom Northwestern Europe is the most familiar, and the fact that few people smoke cigars today is another significator that it is a puzzle of some antiquity; predating the 1950s.
As I mentioned in another article why one avoids using Wikipedia is that here is a more modern version of the puzzle put forward as the puzzle and extrapolations made as to its authorship by using cigarette brands when the actual puzzle predates cigarettes.

[wikipedia has](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Cigarette):
> The South and Central American cigarette used various plant wrappers; when it was brought back to Spain, maize wrappers were introduced, and by the 17th century, fine paper. The resulting product was called papelate and is documented in Goya's paintings La Cometa, La Merienda en el Manzanares, and El juego de la pelota a pala (18th century).[11]
> By 1830, the cigarette had crossed into France, where it received the name cigarette; and in 1845, the French state tobacco monopoly began manufacturing them.
[...]
> The widespread smoking of cigarettes in the Western world is largely a 20th century phenomenon

What moved me towards the creation of a puzzle by someone from Central or North Central Europe, were the countries chosen. An American would prob. mention England, but where does Norway Sweden and Denmark come into their immediate realm of 5 countries?
If the writer had picked Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia and Guyana I'd know they were from the West Indies.
Although some people say Lewis Carroll wrote the problem I would think he'd do, England, Scotland, France, Ireland, maybe Germany.
Further, the European brands of tobacco, Note there is no 'White Owl' or other known American brands. And cigarettes have been outselling cigars from about the 1920s ... if the problem was created in the 1950s, I'm sure America would be mentioned, and it would be brands of cigarettes, this is why I'm more persuaded that it was created by someone in the area around Germany sometime in the 1920s or 1930s.

With knowledge of letter frequencies in English, and with the *big* assumption that the letter to be inserted isn't already listed, I'd say the letter to be inserted 12 times is "O". (A, E, I, N, R, S, T are already listed).
Think birds.

Didn't read that bit. No wonder I was 10 points away on the Cattell B scale from being eligible for Mensa.

Metaphysical Plant did a pretty awesome job on this, both in constructing and having solutions posted immediately afterward--the hunt was really well-done. (I was a very small part of Codex.)

I found a lot, but I'm mostly distracted by the lack of Bed Intruder / Antoine Dodson. Unless I'm missing something... That was clearly the biggest meme of 2010. No?

could be a heavily pixelated photo
see
http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2010/wickhamgreen2010S/DSC1390-Wickham-L-North-and.jpg
for example
otherwise the examples are probably not high enough resolution to determine the coding
Although it could also be some form of music notation

That's a little scary. I shudder to think what it would be like if the edges and corners had to be solved, too.

Shouldn't the 5x5 methods work on the 7x7?
Assemble the middle 3x3 of each face, then user the same methods you would have used on 5x5 edges to pair up the 3x1 flanks to each 3x3 center. Then use the 3x3 techniques to get each 5x5 face in place. Then use the 5x5 edge methods again to pair the the outer 5x1 flanks. Now you have a 3x3 cube.

That's exactly what I thought too. I began with the top and bottom with the 5x5 method, then when I get to the centers for the face and sides, I'm stumped...It's hard to explain, but it doesn't work. But maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Strange... I first get the top and bottom 3x3s, and then I get the side Xs. Can you get to 3x3 Xs on the sides at least?

I asked my dad, and he told me the solution that works. First I do the top 5x5, bottom 5x5, then doing two of the sides 5x5 (Centers), then with the last two side centers, use the 4x4 method to exchange center pieces. By now you should have all of the centers (5x5). Now you do the edges how you would do a 5x5 cube. Got those done? Finish as a 3x3. I did this on my lunch break, then when I brought it back to school, it slipped out of my arm.....it shattered all over the hall :( Right before the next period started so everyone was walking all over them, so they went everyone. Now I'm forced to try and salvage them and put it back together.(Which is hard. As. Hell). Moral of the story? Be careful :P
