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.
