JANUARY 1976 - SATURDAY 3
3RD DAY - 363 DAYS TO COME

Thinking of simplifications in INVESTMENT, also changing the
name to PROFIT & LOSS. After the initial market prices are set
a share in each is taken. In changing a market price at the start
and also after leveling off, an odd total (including 7) is up and an
even total (excluding doubles) is down. After each market change,
transactions must be made in exactly 3 stocks - buying or selling 1 share.
If a stock hits bottom, all shares are lost. If top, all shares are sold, with
a $10 bonus each. Instead of deducting for buying a share, a profit or
loss is entered when the share is sold. Tried it myself - good.
Made a new layout for FOUR COLOR and got reproductions on Boston Road.
Using these I erased some lines and made changes, putting corners
where 4 areas met and prohibiting diagonal touching of the same
color. Seems to be more challenging. However many more setups will be
impossible. I'll have to give a starting setup that I have worked out.

Call from Earl Perel. Among other things he mentioned DON'T BLOW A FUSE.
I told him about Al Richter's losing his job.
Talked about getting together but didn't make any dates.

The Laurence's here in evening. Phil tried FOUR COLOR and found it challenging.
