Rcd. 1 answer to <u>SLEUTH</u> problem.
Rcd. ads from Dover Books. One was for
<u>''THE UNKNOWN LEWIS CARROLL''</u> which I determined was
the same as <u>''DIVERSIONS & DIGRESSIONS''</u>, which I have.
Another was for <u>''PUZZLES IN MATH & LOGIC''</u>. (Filed in Book
Ads folder.)
Rcd. <u>''S&T''</u> Staff Newsletter #10.

From Lucerne wrote post cards to <u>Phil Cohen</u>, <u>Earl Perel</u>, <u>Wald</u>
(including a note to <u>Arthur</u>, whose address I forgot to take), <u>Ken
Morgan</u>, <u>Felicia</u>, <u>Phil Orbanes</u>, <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>, & <u>Don Miller</u>.
At "Carl Weber" bought <u>GOLDGRÄBER</u> and <u>POSI-NEGA</u>. Also a
<u>PUZZLE</u> with 3 identical pieces to be formed into a pyramid.
Saw <u>FIZZOG</u> - a German edition of an English game (I believe). Cards
have half faces on two sides except the "starter" which
has 4. There are 4 different features (such as eyes,
beard or lack of it, etc.). Play domino style, scoring 1 point
for each of the 4 features that matches the one played against.
(children's game.)
Saw <u>EXPEDITION</u>, which is the same or similar to Waddington's
<u>EXPLORATION</u>.
Saw <u>CARTINO</u> with the full deck, instead of the short deck as
put out by M.B.
Saw <u>BAZAAR</u>, but not <u>ACQUIRE</u>.
At Nordman dept. store saw <u>WELT HANDEL</u> (<u>COMMERCE UNIVERSAL</u>).
Players get 12 "loading" cards. Move along a path (I think that 2
are provided) to different ports. Get "cargo" cards when
land on a port first time; different values. First to reach
end gets prize money (fixed amount). Play until all have
reached end. Score cargo cards each has and deduct for
"loading" cards left over. (Rough idea.)
Saw <u>QUADRO COMBI</u> (Spear). Later [crossed out] bought it in London
with the name <u>FOUR SCORES</u>.
In the same bookstore I bought in last year I bought two
books: <u>''PUUR, NÁLL, AS''</u>, <u>''SCHÖNE SPIELE''</u>.
