emperor who wants to construct a great wall around one
of the bands.


Another puzzle idea is the <u>6 PIECE RING PUZZLE</u>.  A figure
[diagram of circle with a plus sign across it, and red some markings]
of three interlocking rings is cut into
six pcs. as shown by the red lines and
is fastened where the rings come together.
The cuts are arranged so that the pcs.
can be assembled in only one way.  Phil is
having a hard job preparing a model.
I asked <u>Phil</u> about the <u>BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH</u> club mailing.
He gave me a copy and also a small sheet which he
says is going out with a number of company's mailings.
(Filed in a "<u>Phil Orbanes</u>" folder.)
Phil had the model of another <u>GAME</u> <u>Bob Hallowell</u> is going
to put out. A cross section is shown.
[diagram of T-shaped device with two handles]
Each player takes a handle and by
manipulating the gadget the two balls
are made to rotate on the shelf.  Object
is to try to knock the other marble into
the hole.
Phil asked me to think about <u>PUZZLE</u>s, <u>GAME</u>s or gadgets
using springs.  They are cheap and attract attention.
Later I thought of the <u>GAME</u> I had fooled around
with some time ago using a gadget which when pushed
[diagram of dome-shaped object with handle on top]
down shows a wood strip and then springs up.
Object to push it down to different scoring
lines and then let it go.  Start with easiest
and then move to next, etc.  Can stop when want
but if it falls over you lose all score that turn.
(I'll show it to Phil and maybe we'll work together
on it.)
To Brentano's.  Met <u>Charles Wivel</u> who was there demon-
strating his Jigsaw Puzzle of the New York Subway map.
(He says it is doing quite well.)
I reminded him about his promis to send me <u>TAKE</u>
and <u>VERBUM EST</u>. He said he'll send them by U.P.S.
Although he worked on the development of <u>NEW TOWN</u>,
he is no longer handling it.
Gave <u>S&T</u> #27 and #28 to <u>Henry Levy</u>.  He thought that
there would be more about games in general.  I told him
about the possibility of a sister magazine and he
was interested in that.
The newspaper ad he spoke about last week probably
won't be run.
<u>Walter York-Koenigstein</u> there demonstrating <u>97</u> particularly
altho <u>HAVOC</u> & <u>RICOCHET</u> were also there.  I reminded
