On ''<u>S & T</u>'' column wrote up <u>FINESSE</u>, <u>WINIT</u>, <u>MASTER MIND</u>, <br>
<u>MONEY CARD</u>, <u>OPTILE</u>, <u>OUTLAW TRAIL</u>, <u>THE GARBAGE GAME</u>, <br>
<u>PINK PEBBLES</u>, <u>QUADTRIPLE</u>, <u>CLUSTER</u>, <u>IMPASSE</u>, <u>TAU</u>, <u>THE DOT GAME</u>,<br>
and started <u>RACECOURSE</u>.<br>
Thought of a new approach to <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u> as a<br>
puzzle. Put the pieces into a 9x9 square with no color<br>
touching itself, even at the corner. It is quite easy. Then<br>
thought of the idea throwing the dice and prohibiting the<br>
two colors from touching.<br>
<s>For ''<u>S & T</u>'' column wrote up</s> Cut up a package of 6"x4'<br>
index cards to get more 3"x2" for indexing the archives.<br>

(cont. from 10/9)  [10/9]<br>
<u>GAME</u> on 10/14, but no answer. Called <u>Earl</u> and told him<br>
<u>Issy</u> also can't make it so when Earl tells Peter, the<br>
whole thing may be postponed.
Call from <u>Claude</u>. He has the solution ready for <u>ECLIPSE</u>.<br>
But he remembered that he has another version with<br>
extra overlays so that different puzzles could be <br>
set up. I told him that something like that would be more<br>
appealing. He'll have in ready by next Tuesday when I<br>
bring <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u> to Felicia.<br>
[Diagram of a 5x5 board populated with circles. Each circle contains a number from 1-25 - starting with 1 at the top left and ending with 25 at the bottom right. Each circle is connected to all adjacent circles (including diagonally) with a line. On the left side every row is labelled 1,6,11,16,21, and on the right side every row is labelled 5,10,15,20,25.]
