| |
| Bill Caruson sent me the rules for <u>TOP BRASS</u>. (Filed in Misc.
| |
| Game Folder.)
| |
| | |
| Rcd. a long letter from Frank Thibault in which he mentions
| |
| playing <u>FOCUS</u> & <u>SLAM</u>, seeing <u>SIT DOWN AND THINK</u> at
| |
| 3M, and an ad for <u>CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN</u>.
| |
| He sold his yacht racing game to 3M and <s>are ch</s> the name
| |
| is being changed from <u>TACK</u> to <u>REGATTA</u>. They will prob-
| |
| ably go ahead with <u>SQUIGGLE</u> after X-Mas. Jerry D'Arcy is
| |
| flying to New York and will contact me. Frank sent the rules
| |
| of his word game <u>CHANNELWORD</u>.
| |
| | |
| Martin Gardner over in afternoon & evening.
| |
| I showed him <u>THE CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN</u> and gave
| |
| him a copy of the puzzle. Showed him SIT DOWN AND THINK,
| |
| <u>TAKE A NUMBER</u> & <u>INFINITE PLANE</u>. Gave him a copy of
| |
| <u>FOCUS</u> and the published copy of WATCH - both were taken by
| |
| his son.
| |
| Martin looked at <u>TIMUR'S GREAT CHESS</u> in <u>CHESS ECCENTRICITIES</u>
| |
| (which he had heard of, but not seen) for use in a column about
| |
| <s>ch</s> knight moves & extended knight moves.
| |
| Martin mentioned an interesting book by P.A. (Major) MacMahon on
| |
| tessellation - <u>''NEW MATHEMATICAL PASTIMES''</u> (see <u>''MATHEMATICAL''
| |
| ''RECREATIONS AND ESSAYS''</u> (pg. 111)). He will do a column <s>on it</s>
| |
| partially based on it - on triangular games and puzzles.
| |
| Another book he mentioned in <u>''MATHEMATICAL BAFFLERS''</u> by
| |
| Angela Dunn (McGraw Hill). On the cover it has a diagram
| |
| something like the following. There are chips
| |
| of 4 colors. Players take turns placing any chip in
| |
| any space, as long as two chips of the same
| |
| colors are not in adjacent spaces. First player
| |
| forced to place a chip next to one of same
| |
| color loses.
| |

| |
| | |
| Martin mentioned that the magazine <u>''RECREATIONAL MATHEMATICS
| |
| MAGAZINE''</u> will be revived by Greenwood Press. He thinks that
| |
| previously unexpired subscriptions will be honored. The
| |
| name will be changed to <s>the</s> <u>''THE JOURNAL OF RECREATIONAL MATHEMATICS''</u>.
| |
| They will also publish a companion magazine called
| |
| <u>''RECREATIONAL WORD PLAY''</u>.
| |
| When he prepares his new book based on ''Scientific American''
| |
| columns he will mention the names of all my published games.
| |
| Took down their names.
| |
| Spoke again about his <u>GAME</u> idea using a long chain made up of
| |
| interlocking balls (like for a key ring). This is dropped over a
| |
| peg (or pegs) and players in some way choose whether it will
| |
| catch on a peg or pull free.
