"took him no time at all"?

In 1902 he lost his job as a tutor but family friend Marcel Grossman got him a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office.
The guy said Einstein immediately and Alex said, sounding very surprised, "That took you no time at all! You're obviously familiar with the story."

Aren't most people - at least those who'd be on Jeopardy! ? I mean, really, aren't they?

ps - "Slavic" with the vowel of "cat"? Really, Alex? And you to speak Russian?

pps - I have to confess I did not come up with Custer.

I came up with Custer, but husband didn't. However, we both got "Who is Will Shortz?" for $1200 :-)
