What is an Einstein Puzzle?

An Einstein puzzle, is a logic puzzle that involves a scenario with several clues, constraints, and a series of deductions to be made to arrive at a unique solution. The puzzle is named after Albert Einstein, although there is no evidence to suggest that he actually created it.

My take on this puzzle presents a scenario involving a witch's potions. Students have to use the clues and make a series of deductions to determine which potion is in which flask.

The goal is to use deductive reasoning to find the correct arrangement that satisfies all the provided conditions.
