DENG at MIT-AI (Dave English, University of Newcastle, UK)@MIT-AI (Sent by DENG@MIT-AI) 06/25/81 05:34:38 Re: Royal Wedding To: cube-lovers at MIT-MC CC: DENG at MIT-AI Someone here in Newcastle upon Tyne, England is selling cubes to celebrate the forthcoming marriage of His Royal Highness, Charles Mountbatten, Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer. Said cubes have a portrait of Prince Charles on one face & Lady Di on the opposite. The four faces have identical Union Jacks. Consequently the orientations of only two centres are significant. Each cube comes complete with a leaflet describing a solution. It gives away nearly all my fastest spells Presumably the solution has been included in order to avoid spoiling THE DAY for the poor unfortunates who scramble the cubes - and therefor the portraits. The case is marked "Made in England", & so I claim this as the first observation of c. Britannicus. The material used is white plastic, but not the brittle stuff of c. Albinus. Movement is quite free, but not as swish as c. Americanus. Yours, Dave E. English.
