a month. Took a sheet with a new line of $1.25 rack  <br>
items: <u>COUNT DOWN</u>, <u>THE GREAT ESCAPE</u>, [Illegible crossed out]  <br>
<u>SCORE 3</u>, <s>and</s> <u>DOUBLE CROSS</u>, <u>OUTER LIMITS</u>  <br>
(The Dexterity Game), and <u>DROP OUT</u> (The Mini Maze). (Filed in '72 Misc.)  <br>
Also saw a puzzle with a tentative name , <u>TORUS</u>,  <br>
which consisted of 9 pieces divided diagonally into 4 triangles  <br>
of 3 different levels or 1, I believe, with 3 triangles.  <br>
 
[Small diagram of two squares subdivided into 4 and 3 triangles.]
 
Object is to match levels at adjoining edges. Also  <br>
ends of columns and rows must match. I mentioned  <br>
that I had a puzzle being considered which is  <br>
similar in appearance, but not in objective. Said that I'd  <br>
tell the manufacturer about his puzzle. Knox didn't seem to be  <br>
much concerned about it.  <br>
3M : - <u>Lou Zeller</u> said that the demand for <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> was  <br>
so strong that they ran out of it.  <br>
A buyer was looking at <u>SLEUTH</u> and <u>EVADE</u> to choose one. I  <br>
talked her into <u>SLEUTH</u>.
