My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

Yep, thats the one.
No idea if Einstein invented it or not, but I enjoyed doing it when it was sent to me!

I heard that puzzle about the fish sometime last year, I think. Didn't Einstein invent it, claiming that 90+% of the population wouldn't be able to do it?

Strangely enough, everyone I've seen attempt it has eventually reached the correct answer (and with the correct reasoning), including my eleven year old little sister.
