TUESDAY 29 JUNE
St. Peter, Apostle 1971 180th day - 185 days to come
Tried out the idea for hexes in COLORAMA. Seems to be even
better. (Used hex graph paper.)
For a possibly simpler score:- In each color the player scores
the product of his biggest group times the smallest group.
The player with the largest group of a color multiplies the
product by the number of players. The next highest by one
less than number of players, etc. A player who has all of the
squares of a color in one group squares the number in
this group. In addition each player multiplies his
maximum largest color group by his minimum largest color
group; and player with single largest group multiplies this by
number of players, etc.
When four play, a variation can be played with all playing
in a configuration. The four largest groups of each
player's color (each player having his own color) are written
in order and compared separately. Largest in each grouping
multiplies number in group by number of players, etc.
Worked out an arrangement for THE 19TH HEX (see 8/21/70)
which assures a single solution.
For my PUZZLE idea of 9/23/70 think
that the arrangement of cutouts shown
will be attractive and easy to follow.

Rcd. a form letter from Phil Orbanes announcing
that the treasurer resigned from Infinity-Quest and that
his wife will become treasurer. Also a personal letter that
Jack Keller is in town and would like to see my game col-
lection.
Noticed that I am not listed as a director, while Jim Dunnigan
is not.
Felicia called. She finally rcd. a letter from Jim Kraus. He has
played PLANES, likes it, and wants to play more. Now the
problem is costing and the answer on this should come in about
60 days.
Felicia has been trying to get 3M to tell her who to send
the revised WILD WOOD PILE to. I told her that I still had
to write to Jim Kraus about BAZAAR and that I would ask
him in the same letter. Also will suggest PLANES for "Book-
shelf" rather than the "Gamette" that Jim originally had in
mind. (Will send a carbon to Felicia.)
Claude had called her about getting together. She didn't get a
chance to call back and asked me, if I spoke to him, to
tell him that any day next week, except Monday, will be O.K.
with her.
Alfons Rubbens still hasn't sent back FREE FORM,
TRY-ANGLES and the other material he took from Felicia.
