and started <u>RACECOURSE</u>.
Thought of a new approach to <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u> as a
puzzle. Put the pieces into a 9x9 square with no color
touching itself, even at the corner. It is quite easy. Then
thought of the idea throwing the dice and prohibiting the
two colors from touching.
<s>For ''<u>S & T</u>'' column wrote up</s> Cut up a package of 6"x4"
index cards to get more 3"x2" for indexing the archives.

<u>GAME</u> on 10/14, but no answer. Called <u>Earl</u> and told him
<u>Issy</u> also can't make it so when Earl tells Peter, the
whole thing may be postponed.
Call from <u>Claude</u>. He has the solution ready for <u>ECLIPSE</u>.
But he remembered that he has another version with
extra overlays so that different puzzles could be
set up. I told him that something like that would be more
appealing. He'll have in ready by next Tuesday when I
bring <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u> to Felicia.
Drew up a new board for <u>OVER 'N OVER</u> as
a puzzle. Noted a solution for a
checkered pattern with the vacant space
in the center.
[Diagram of a 5x5 board populated with circles. Each circle contains a number from 1-25 - starting with 1 at the top left and ending with 25 at the bottom right. Each circle is connected to all adjacent circles (including diagonally) with a line. On the left side every row is labelled 1,6,11,16,21, and on the right side every row is labelled 5,10,15,20,25.]

with orders. In the meantime he'll tell their showroom (J.R.
Sales - 3rd floor - 200 Fifth) to show me the copy they have there.
I'll probably go there next Tuesday.
Later thinking about <u>3D BOXES></u> with different colors. With four
colors up top 4 can play. When a box is completed, most of a
color wins it, unless it is a tie in which case the one completing
it wins. Instead of giving an extra turn for completing a face,
give one for adding the third color at a corner, or a fourth. Keep
the setting up, but eliminate the force. (I'll have to try it out.)<br>
