Thought of an idea for a puzzle - <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS II</u>.  <br>
The 9 towers are divided into four quarters of  <br>
different heights. Object is to place them together so  <br>
that there are always two of the same height next to  <br>
each other as shown).  <br>
As a simpler problem place the towers  <br>
so that no single area of a height is  <br>
left alone, but more than two of the  <br>
same height can be next to each other.  <br>
As a game, players in turn place  <br>
any tower, the 3 x 3 area not being defined  <br>
until there are 3 in each direction.  <br>
When a player is forced to  <br>
actually isolate a single area he  <br>
has lost the game. He continues  <br>
placing all the towers and loses one  <br>
point for each isolated single area.
[Diagram of 9 groups of 4 squares (36 squares in total) arranged in a square grid. Each individual square has a number from 3 to 6 written in it.]
<u>Claude</u> called. Among other things, he asked if he  <br>
should get more copies of <u>AGOG</u> for me if he sees  <br>
them for $2. Yes, another 5.
