Friday 19 June 1970
170th day - 195 days to come
Called Brian Blake. Not in, & didn't call back. This was after I had
further ideas about the Harry Lorayne memory GAME. The
boards are in 6x6 configurations, with six items on each and
30 holes. A set up is made by nesting them at random until
no holes appear. Then they are faced up and the players study
them as long as they wish until one player decides to place
the cover in place. He then opens a window at a time starting
at an edge and working along a line. He can stop at any
time and score for what he has correct. If he makes a mistake
he scores nothing for that turn. The first line scores 1 point
for each square identified. The second line 2 each. 3rd - 3. Etc. A
completely identified line is marked so it can't be used again.
For a series of faces to identify a different cover is used. The
face is exposed but the name is covered, with flaps to un-
cover it as it is identified.
Sent my old press card to Jim Dunnigan.
Rcd. June issues of TOYS & NOVELTIES and PLAYTHINGS. Nothing of
interest.
Rcd. August selection of GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.J.). It is
TUF. They are also offering DIPLOMACY, BLACKS & WHITES,
OPINION POLL, PENTAGON, and others.
Rcd. another letter from "William W. Steel", in answer to mine to
him.
Claude called and we had a long, general conversation.
Alan Levison (see 1/27) called before I got hom. I called him back at
CY 9-8169. Told him I wasn't in England long enough to look for
007 UNDERWATER BATTLE. If I do find it in the future I'll let
him know.
