I recently saw an ad for a book called (something like) ``handbook of cubik math'', by (?) David Singmaster. It's supposed to talk about the group theory underlying Rubik's cube. Does anybody know where I can get a copy of this? Mail replies to ... lbl-csam!oddjob!gargoyle!shallit ... shallit@UChicago.ARPA thanks in advance, Jeff

Mail replies to I have not heard of Handbook of Cubik Math, but I do have a book that fits your description. It covers the group structure of Rubik's Cube. It is; Notes On Rubik's Magic Cube by David Singmaster, 1981, ISBN 0-89490-043-9 Enslow Publishers, Bloy Street and Ramsey Avenue, Box 777, Hillside, New Jersey 07205 A good bookstore should be able to order it for you if it is still in print. I have two other books that cover groups and the Rubik Cube type puzzles. They are; Inside Rubik's Cube and Beyond, Christoph Bandelow, ISBN 3-7643-3078-3, 1982, Birkhauser, Boston Puzzle It Out Cubes, Groups and Puzzles John Ewing and Czes Kosniowski, 1982, ISBN 0 521 28924 6 Cambridge University Press, 32 East 57th Street, New York, NY 10022 Tom Granvold Cupertino, Calif. decvax!ucbvax!oliveb!tymix!granvold
