TUESDAY 15 AUGUST
Assumption B. V. Mary 1967 227th day - 138 days to come
Reproduced some of Martin Gardner's material and the letter
to Haar Hoolim.
Michael Laurence of PLAYBOY magazine called during day
and Dale told him when I'd be back. Called in evening.
Would like me to look at their game, SCORE. If I don't
care to work on it send it back & they'll send me $50.
If I do care to call him, collect, and we'll discuss
finances. He says they'll pay me well.
Called Martin to tell him about Playboy. He told me about his
coming column about the knight's move. Solomon Golomb
(Polyominoes) has a game called CHESKERS. It is played on the
black spaces of a checker board. There are two rows of regular
checkers for each player. On their back rows each player has a bishop in
one corner and a modified knight in the other. The knight
moves three spaces and one, staying on the black spaces. The two
other spaces are occupied by kings. Pieces move and capture
as in the game of their origin (with the exception of the
modified knight's move). Object is to capture the opponent's
two kings.
Fay called BB and conned her into typing a new presentation
of TREASURE HUNT - shorter.
Spoke to Claude about getting together with Fay - agreed on
Friday.
