Is Einstein's riddle an example of a combinatorial design?

186 Views Asked by At

I have just learned a bit about combinatorial designs (BIBDs, constructing a ($b,v,r,k, \lambda$)-design, necessary conditions for a design, cyclic designs) and it reminded me a lot of Einstein's riddle (aka: Zebra Puzzle)

Is Einstein's riddle an example of a combinatorial design?

If not, can it be made into a design?
