puzzle editor is in correspondence with Silverman.
<u>Eric Cross</u> (from Ireland) had a puzzle, <u>8 BLOCKS TO MADNESS</u>,
now on the market and
I saw an article in a
Math. Mag [magazine]. The 8 cubes
from <u>MacMahon</u>'s set of 30
are shown. Object is
to form a 2 x 2 x 2 cube
with each face a different single color.
