SATURDAY 3 OCTOBER 1970
St. Theresa
276th day - 89 days to come
Drew up a new information sheet for SLEUTH. Packaged it
all in a manilla envelope.
Drew up a solution for TANGLED WEB and also packaged it
in a manilla envelope.
Took both to post office and mailed them 1st Class - air
mail.
At "Korvette's" saw they had the "3M" Bookshelf games,
but not the Gamettes. (At Pelham).
Played SMOG with Dave & Barbara Horn, and BB. Didn't
use the smoke plumes, using rings instead to show
abatement. Not bad, but a great many situations are
not cleared up in the instructions.
Dana, with a little help from BB & me, put up the new
steel shelves from "Sears".

Pete Swift called. He is interested again in doing something

in the diagram (The 4-3 division is mine).
Two dice are thrown and the numbers
can be used to move 2 chips or 1 chip twice.
Movement is only in the columns.
Object is to line as many chips as possible
in a row, but not on the red rows.
A player may, at any time after he has a row of
2 or more, end his turn and remove the chips in the
row. The opponent then replaces chips in those columns
in his red row and then has his turn.
When a player throws a seven his turn ends, unless he is
willing to "cover". He does this by putting another chip on
each chip in the longest row, which may be as small as 1 long.
When he adds two more chips next to the "covered" chips
he has gotten rid of his penalty and may stop in the usual way.
If he throws another 7 before he has added one additional
chip to the row he must stop. If he throws a -
