Actually you're just confusing your Einsteins.  Note that the problem
page states it was published early in the 19th century.  This is
because it had nothing to do with Albert Einstein, the disoverer of
relativity.

Actually it was created by Al Einstein, and he was really quite famous
for it, until that Albert guy came along a century later.  So then
this new guy has a little theory or two, and suddenly everybody
forgets about Al.  Kind of a sad story, actually.
