<u>Phil</u> showed me a model of <u>HASSLE</u>. It is similar to the sketch  <br>
of (10/26) except that the strings are proportioned differently.  <br>
After piling the cylenders, the handle must be rested  <br>
on edge next to them without knocking them over.  <br>
This will be packaged in the same way as the puzzle  <br>
<u>WIT'S END</u> (he gave me one). He asked me to think of a game  <br>
or a puzzle using wood and fitting in the same package. They  <br>
would like to have 3 of them to sell at $2 each or 3 for $5.
I told Phil about my puzzle <u>HABITAT</u> and its resemblance  <br>
to <u>THE PYRAMID PUZZLE</u>. He thought that as a sculpture  <br>
it would be quite different. He thought tho that we  <br>
should present it to <u>Bob Hallowell</u> and not Mag-Nif,  <br>
or possibly to <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> who, like Hallowell, is  <br>
trying to get some lower priced items in the line.  <br>
I also told Phil something about <u>RESTRUCTURE</u> and suggested  <br>
it for Bob Hallowell. Phil thought it would be good for him if  <br>
I use symbols instead of letters.  <br>
He also suggested symbols or possible raised Roman Numerals  <br>
for <u>SPACE STIX</u> bur I convinced him that they would be  <br>
hard to follow in playing the game.  <br>
Phil had an idea for a <s>puzzle</s> game, tentative name  <br>
<u>THE EMPEROR'S ENCHANTMENT</u>. A globe of the world is mounted  <br>
on a horizontal axis. There are 36 holes in it in 6 bands  <br>
of 6, equally spaced. He hasn't worked out a  <br>
game yet, but is thinking along the lines of a Chinese  <br>
