THURSDAY 26 JANUARY 1967 26th day - 339 days to come

Ran off some prints of SCOPE layouts at the office.

Bob Abbott, Claude & Anne, and Bernice & I to Fay Baker's house. Discussed TV games using a computer. Came Came up with only one solid idea. 3 male and 3 female contestants are chosen, preferably with some common bond of interest. The computer matches up the couples in the best manner; also gives some of the pertinent points. The contestants discuss things between them and try to find out the matings, the pertinent points, and the common bond. They each fill out a questionnaire and the computer then picks the winner from the questionnaire. Fay mentioned a word GAME where a group of letters are given. The players make up words from the letters. A player scores for a word only if he is to make a word of that length and also no longer word has been made. Must be over very quickly. Fay wants to use contestants in various cities around the country. I suggested a "treasure hunt" theme and Faye liked the idea. Found the whole project rather boring. Faye wanted us to meet every week but we set it for Monday after next.

Using the 1890 card game SCOOP as a point of departure, thinking of a game that could be called TRADE UP.

While I was out Arthur called.

Came up with only one solid idea. 3 male and 3 female
contestants are chosen, preferably with some common bond of
interest. The computer matches up the couples in the best manner;
also gives some of the pertinent points. The contestants discuss
things between them and try to find out the matings, the pertinent
points, and the common bond. They each fill out a questionnaire
and the computer then picks the winner from the
questionnaire.
Fay mentioned a word GAME where a group of letters
are given. The players make up words from the letters.
A player scores for a word only if he is to make a word
of that length and also no longer word has been made.
