This way, *I* can get all of the old cubes and other puzzles!! In fact, I've acquired TWO 4x4x4's by this method in the last five years, as well as one of Nob Yoshigahara's Pineapple Puzzles for only fifty cents! The old lady who sold it to me even cautioned me not to eat it! (Hmm... I'm not doing a very good job of convincing you guys to avoid these sales, am I? ;-) ) -- Wei-Hwa Huang, whuang@ugcs.caltech.edu, http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~whuang/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- finger me for /etc/passwd
