FRIDAY 21 AUGUST
1970 233rd day - 132 days to come
Felicia called. Someone (she never told me who) at X said they they
would be paying my expenses to Kansas City, to talk to
Dr. Jacobs, a vice-president, about the game program.
TANGLED WEB is being returned. "No challenge. Once you've done
it, you've had it."
GENIUS BLOCKS are being returned. "Only #1 was any challenge,
and that took only 20 minutes."
They are sending option contracts for ANOTHER, DIGIT,
CUBITS, and in about 3 weeks for WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?
They think that PE-LING could be another BRIDGE but they
want to do a lot more testing before deciding.
SPELLBINDER being returned. No reason given.
It looks good for CODE BREAKING GAME, COUNTER INTELLIGENCE,
MAKE A PUZZLE GAME.
[to the right, diagram of 19 hexagons in honeycomb formation, some labeled with "A," "B," or "C" on sides.]
Thinking of a variation of
BITS AND PIECES (see 8/13).
There are 6 plastic overlays
similar to that shown. Each
has 1 each of the segments
marked A, B, and C. The 6
are fasten together so that
they can be rotated. Object is
to form all 19 hexes. Possible
name - THE 19TH HEX.
Another PUZZLE idea. Have a series of pieces of some
shape to be determine which are put together to form
a square. They are colored so that a grid of colors is
formed. A second series of pieces each has a hole in
the center of each square in the grid. These are put together
so that the color showing thru the hole matches the color
above.
Rcd. a letter from Ed Tucker. My guess on the PATTERNS 2 game
was correct. He would like me to send some more patterns
for the machine to solve.
4 copies of FOCUS came from Whitman. 3 copies each of
TEMPO, INTERPLAY, and ODD OR EVEN came.
In Chinatown bought another CHINESE CHESS set, with
plastic pcs. Also found a box for sending AIRLINE to
"Stancraft," with Chinese writing on the cover.
(cont. from 8/23) [9/23]
Sent a copy of ACQUIRE to Frank Armbruster.
[started 9/23]
