Wald to <u>Jim | Wald to <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> for a moment. Spent most of the time <br> | ||

time on <u>ONE AT A TIME BY THE MILLIONS</u> I figured that it <br> | |||
ran about two days more than three weeks, for a total <br> | |||
of 136 hours or $1,360. He said fine. I sent a bill <br> | |||
for that amount. | |||
Called <u>Claude</u> to tell him I couldn't change date to Friday. He'll <br> | |||
be there about 6:45. I called <u>Arthur</u> to tell him, and that <br> | |||
I'd be there about 6:30. | |||
<u>Stan Chess</u> mentioned that he had given <u>George Bredehorn</u> <br> | |||
an assignment to do a game <u>FOURPLAY</u>. He came up with a simple <br> | |||
gambling game. There is a square array with 50 [cents] in the <br> | |||
center. 4 - 25 [cents] two spaces around it. Some 10 [cents] outside this | |||
and then more 5 [cents] at the outer edge. Players move with throw of 1 die <br> | |||
and can make one right angle turn. Pick up "coi" when land <br> | |||
on space. After 50 and 25's are gone 10's double their value. After <br> | |||
10's are gone first back to start takes all remaining 5's. | |||
