SUNDAY 22 MARCH Palm Sunday 1970 81st day - 284 days to come

Spent half the day on WINDOW PAINS and still didn't get it solved.

Wrote the introduction to INVASION as my next column for S & T.

Drew up a new sheet of clue pads for SEARCH.

Looking up DATA and saw that it had bene sent to X under the name DATA PROCESSING. It was rejected although Dan Drake and Rollie Coleman had fought for it.

are "all purpose." They can replace any personnel but are counted as 6 away. 6 "Ad Agencies." One, or two can be added to an organization. Each one added makes up 3 of the [crossed out] total divergence from the chosen number. 6 "Assistants." These are used with a personnel card. Brings the personnel to within 1 of perfection. There are no cards for setting up a company. Any player can collect the eight necessary personnel cards. 13 number discs are located in a central place. When a player completes an organiz- ation he chooses one of the remaining discs and places it on his organization. An organization make $60,000,000 profit minus $1,000,000 for each unit in the total divergence.

Had a new approach for working out the WINDOW PAINS cards. Took one and set it up so that it could not possibly fit on 9 of the cards and then worked backwards setting up a situation in which it would fit. In evening set that up, but tried also to work out a false trail where this card would be the first placed. Trying all combinations from this start to see if any would lead to a solution. So far no, but have to continue with a lot more.

Called Felicia. X wants to see GO SEE again. She'll see about getting it back from Impact. I'll bring it, ANOTHER, and the puzzle rules to her at lunch tomorrow.
