SATURDAY 1 APRIL 1967 91st day - 274 days to come

To Post Office to have the following registered:- TRIPLE CROSS, INFINITE PLANE, "packaging" Idea. Took them with me.

Called Claude. He is layed up with a twisted knee. We'll go tonight but he can't make it tomorrow. Called Fay. She will come tomorrow. Promised to have TREASURE HUNT ready for her. Worked on a board for playing TREASURE HUNT all day. To Claude in the evening. Discussed his STOCK MARKET GAME. It is based on buying shares in four different stores stocks. Then there are trading periods where players offer stock for sale and others offer to buy. The agreed price sets the market price (as in the real stock market). The problem is, what is to stop two players who have large holdings in a particular stock to arrange a sale of one share at a ridiculously high price and thus bring up the value of their entire holdings. There are announcements of dividend pay- ments, which come true [crossed out] within about 10% and also rumors of company stock values going up. This is to try and stimulate activity in the stock. I feel the game needs more work to iron out the problems. The 4 of us played my TREASURE HUNT. It played well, though it was over fast.
