SUNDAY 5 SEPTEMBER 1971
Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
248th day - 117 days to come
(cont. from 9/6) [9/9]
said I didn't mind. I played a game with him - lost, but
liked it. Phil ran a set of the rules off on the copy
machine and also gave me some blank playing sheets.
Took a look at the rules of THE NEXT PRESIDENT but didn't
go through them. Copies shpould be ready in about a month.
Looked at something Phil had at his desk, called LOGICUS.
It was a battery operated "computer" that played a simple
NIM game. The manufacturer (Technitronic Systems Inc.) is
interested in having someone take it over.
Thinking of some PUZZLE ideas for Mag-Nif: -
CHECKER BORED. Either TORTURE TOWER or something like
TANGLED WEB (but without the tangled effect) that makes up to a
checkerboard effect.
Pieces, probably round with different groups of holes in each. There
is a base with holes for pegs. Object is to place three pegs in holes
so that all of the pieces can be placed on them.
Plastic pieces with a bottom and walls around (rectangular,
or probably square). In the walls are openings - doors - in different
positions. Object is to place the "rooms" in place so as form
a "maze" from one outside edge to another.
To Carl Eisenberg and picked up HOLEY TERROR. he asked
about my visit to Reiss and I told him that Bill Knox was interested
in one of my puzzles.
Felicia called and spoke to BB while I was out. She had a meaasge for
Al Richter. Jerry of Avalon Industries returned his candle
frame art kit. But Jerry wants to get together with him.
Showed the Russian book Lech sent me to dad. He translated the
title as PROBLEMS - BRAINBUSTERS - DRAWINGS. Didn't look at much
more in it.
[Started 9/9]
(cont. from 9/7) [9/23]
Rcd. a telephone call from Fay Baker. Dale told her I was
in Europe on vacation.
