FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER
1970 275th day - 90 days to come
Jim Kraus sent me a copy of a letter criticising MONAD
and a copy of his answer.
Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim with a clipping about
a company which, among other items, puts out a children's
arithmetic game LET'S THINK which has cards with
positive and negative numbers and others with the arithmetic
signs.
Rcd. a letter and an invoice from Frank Armbruster.
He is sending me a puzzle called VECTOR (Shipped
9/28) that he intends putting on the market. He sent
one to Martin Gardner and Hank Simmons and asked if I
could suggest any others who would like to receive a
copy.
Finished a rewrite of the rules for SLEUTH and BB typed
them. Wrote a covering letter to Jim Kraus.
Packaged the large TANGLED WEB using a black back-
ground and a transparant lid held on with rubber bands.
Looked attractive. BB typed rules which were short and
I glued them to the bottom of the package.
(cont. from 10/3) [10/9]
nother 7 after adding another 1 or more chips
to the row he may "cover" again. (The 1 or more is my idea.)
When a player stops due to 7's and there are
"covering" chips the other player immediately removes
all "covering" chips and then continues in the usual
manner.
A player may not cover a row of 6, since he
can't add 2 chips to that row. (My idea.)
When a player completes a row of 7 (on the last
throw 1 die may be used) he takes them all and then
continues his turn.
[Perhaps it would be better to force the player to
use both dice, since with only one dip the odds
are very much in favor of continuing after getting a
line of 6. Definitely.]
When a player cannot replace chips when required,
he has lost.
[Started 10/9]
