Date: 12 Jan 1981 1353-PST From: Isaacs at SRI-KL Subject: Re: nomenclature To: McKeeman at PARC-MAXC cc: cube-lovers at MIT-MC, ISAACS You'd have to ask him about his relationship to the Plantagenets (or Anjous), but James Angevine (with an 'e') wrote out an early(?) solution the the cube which was then sold by Logical Games, Inc, one of the first distributers of (what they called) the Magic Cube. Singmasters first published solution seemed dificult to communicate, so I sent the 'Angevine Solution' to my father. Logical Games, Inc, incedentally, is currently manufacturing the cube in the U.S.A., in white plastic with (I think) a slightly more pleasent color scheme. You're right that it's essentially the BFUDLR + slice, plus the different use of CW and CCW on the face furthest away. I hope to see you at the Rubik's Cube Club meeting. (Actually, I may have to miss this weeks - maybe I'll see you there the 22nd.) --- Stan -------
