Yeah, it's not that hard, but the source that Matt got it from touted it as "a very famous logic puzzle, claimed to only be solved by a few percent of those who try". I think the "average" man on the street would have a hard time with this because you have to be able to keep all the facts in your head at the same time and "see" the relations all at once to get the answer, but those of us that work in a technical field use logic like this all the time, so it's almost second nature.
