As to getting a 1980s Cube, try to get one with attached colored plastic tiles instead of stickers, made by Ideal. Its mechanical design differs in certain details, so that it is to some degree self-aligning, and much less likely to lock if slightly misaligned. It is also made of what's probably the best (affordable!) plastic for this application. It might have been called a "Deluxe" Cube. It's possible that the store in Cambridge, Mass. called "The Games People Play" might have 1990s Cubes in stock; I tend to think the superior kind is probably history, but one can always hope. (Sorry! I have just one, and I'm not selling it!) I'm reasonably sure that Puzzletts is at http://www.puzzletts.com Regards, |* Nicholas Bodley *|* Electronic Technician {*} Autodidact & Polymath |* Waltham, Mass. *|* ----------------------------------------------- |* nbodley@tiac.net *|* When the year 2000 begins, we'll celebrate |* Amateur musician *|* the 2000th anniversary of the year 1 B.C.E. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
