Date: 18 May 1981 17:59-EDT From: Richard Pavelle Subject: the magic barrel := scraping the bottom thereof To: CUBE-LOVERS at MIT-MC Now from Ideal comes "MAGIC PUZZLE" ta ta..ta ta... It is a new barrel puz (not worth the extra typing) and sells for about $5.00 in Boston. It is not deserving of a discussion but so you may recognize and avoid it let me say the following: Barrel shaped, it has 6 slots perpendicular to 3 frames which rotate about the axis. Five slots contain 3 colored panels each and the 6th has only two. The puz comes solved with all 6 slots the same color. One then tries to disarrange it (more difficult than actually solving it). The greatest challenge might be to run over it with a car and humpty dumpty it.
