Played <u>X-CHANGE WORD</u> - Jerry, Miriam, and BB (who had <br>
played the puzzle before, but tried to play as if she hadn't). <br>
Miriam liked it a lot. <br>
Played 4-hand <u>SPACE - STIX</u>, Miriam and me against BB and Jerry. <br>
Jerry had his stix arranged with all the odds on one end  <br>
and the evens on the other. This was an advantage, but they still <br>
lost. (Jerry liked it a lot.) <br>
To avoid this situation thought of the idea of dividing <br>
the stix into odd and even piles and having players start <br>
with an alternating odd-even or, for variety, an odd-odd-even-even.
