Does anyone know how I could get more of those little 25-cm 3x3x3 cubes that used to be sold on a keychain for about US $3.00? I checked a few toy and novelty stores in my area, including Games People Play near MIT in Cambridge (and they weren't very nice about giving me a useful answer either)... Barring that, has anyone successfully made their own cubes? Since the 3x3x3 is relatively simple in design I suppose the tolerances wouldn't be all that bad. I'd like to get a bunch of small cubes so I can keep a bunch of cubes in different configurations. Yes, I am reading through the 15-year backlog and am only up to mid-December 1980. I did some grep -i searches for "key\ *chain", "mold" and "cast" but found nothing helpful. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Davis' principle 36: Research-then-transfer doesn't work. - - - - Robert P Munafo - - - munafo@vgi.com - - - +1.617.276.8960 - - -
