HI CUBE-LOVERS,

PUZZLE AVAILABILITY:

6/17 MACY'S RAN AN AD IN THE NY TIMES FOR 12 PIECE RUBIK'S MAGIC. The puzzle
has 5 rings that have to be linked and was advertised for $15.

In Japan, associated with the New Zealand mazes are puzzle shops. These shops
are creating a demand for puzzles. A co-worker just back from Tokyo purchased
some puzzles at the "MATSUYA" department store in GINZA. There is a line of
cast puzzles that cost about $7: KEY, A-B-C, STAR, S&S, HORSESHOES (see slocums
book). There is also a line of Ring disentanglement puzzles that cost about $6;
BROKEN HEART, SWING, "U" RING, DEVIL, POT, LOOP, TRIO RING. Both puzzle lines
are Bronze colored and come nicely gift boxed.

The Future is Puzzling and Cubing is Forever,
