FRIDAY 8 OCTOBER 1971
281st day - 84 days to come

In De Bijenkorf Dept. Store in Amsterdam bought a puzzle -
OBSESSION (the English and French name).
Saw another puzzle - FACOM. This consisted of 12 pcs. each
made up of 5 joined cubes - the 12 PENTOMINOS made
in a thickness of 1 cube. Object is to form a cube
3 x 4 x 5. (Many solutions are given.)

[Diagram of an 's' shaped pentomino.]

Saw a game INTER BISS. Was told that it was like MONOPOLY.
Seemed to be based on a travel motif. There were four separate
tracks each, I was told, belonging to a different player.

From London called Michael Dummett. Made a date to go
to Oxford Sunday to visit him.
Tried to call Mr. Bloncourt (see 9/23). No answer.
