    No, no, and no. Sorry. If you look further up, we have not only gotten the year right, but also already found out what he did.

      Not only you mixed up the dates but also a contributor to the English Oktoberfest - Wikipedia[^] page:

      Quote:

      In 1901, Albert Einstein was a laborer in the construction of the Wiesn. As an assistant in the family-owned electrical company Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, he mounted the bulbs in the Schottenhamel marquee.

      It was really written a little confusingly. Sorry.

        See I was right.. pole dancing! I'm guessing the bulbs were at the top of the dancing poles - you'd have to be careful how you mounted them though, they'd be really hot back in the days before energy saving ones - could be a very nasty accident! :laugh:

        Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

          Not really. The poles are too thick. But table dancing might apply.

                    Last year I heard this question in the radio on my way to work. The right answer would have earned you 10000€. Let's see who might have won that money here: Albert Einstein was 17 years old in 1908 (my fault, should be 1896) and worked at the Oktoberfest. What did he do there?

                    That's a lot of money for a bit of Googling...
