SUNDAY 29 NOVEMBER 1970

First Sunday in Advent 333rd day - 32 days to come

Finished the 9 towers for TORTURE TOWERS. Working with them and found there were many solutions. The easiest way to fix this is to put colors on the base which must match the bottoms of the towers.
Called Phil Orbanes and told him about the puzzle. He gave me the address and telephone number to contact Carl Eisenberg tomorrow: [bracket] Everyone Products, Inc.

Phil liked the name TORTURE TOWERS.
I asked about financial arrangements and he suggested a 75%-25% split. He also suggested having the contract done thru "Infinity-Quest." I agreed.
He said that Carl had decided not to take a chance on CONGLOMERATES. However Phil has worked out another GAME for him (wouldn't tell me anything about it).
Carl is willing to give 5% royalties and a $1000 advance on royalties.
The contract between Bob Hallowell and "Infinity-Quest" is signed and is now in Cleveland, along with my contract.
