Friday 4 October 1963, St. Francis of Assisi, 277th day - 88 days to come

To I/S. DATA back from I/S M.B. & I fixed the box so that it could be sent to Parker. To Gimbel's & bought SKI -GAMMON (instructions missing).

Saw KORALL:

[DETAILED DIAGRAM - Rectangular in shape. Top labeled NORTH PASSAGE. Bottom labeled SOUTH PASSAGE. Sides labeled WEST PASS and EAST PASS. Main body comprised of 11 boxes ("Koralls") divided into 3 rows (4, 3, and 4). There are 4 large black circles in each box (like a 4 on a 6 sided die). The boxes connect to each other with "gates"]

Each player has 5 pieces. Put down alternately on any black circle. After all are placed move to any unoccupied circle. In a "Korall" a diagonal move may be made. Through the "gates" only orthogonal moves can be made. Can move from space to space through the passages and passes. Object to get four of your pieces into any one "Korall".

Saw ONE ARM BANDIT : Played with 3 sets of 20 symbol cards made up as follows: -

RED PACK 2 - JACKPOT 4 - BELL 4 - PLUM 4 - ORANGE 0 - LEMON 6 - CHERRY

YELLOW PACK 2 - JACKPOT 5 - BELL 3 - PLUM 5 - ORANGE 0 - LEMON 5 - CHERRY

BLUE PACK 3 - JACKPOT 4 - BELL 5 - PLUM 5 - ORANGE 3 - LEMON 0 - CHERRY

At Mensa meeting played SQUIGGLES (See 9/10). Added an additional scoring rule. If a majority of the greater number of players have a different solution than that intended by the originator (count the originator & all having his solution in comparing the number) that becomes the correct solution & the originator scores nothing.
