[net.math] Wanted: Magic Domino

     Reading the request about books on the group theory of Rubik's
Cubes, reminded me of something that I have been looking for for a long
time. Does anyone know where I can buy a Magic Domino? This is simular to
a Rubik's Cube except it is 3 by 3 by 2 and the faces are not colored.
Instead the faces of the small cubes have various numbers of dots on them.
The look of these dots give it its name. Also I am looking for any other
unusual Rubik's Cube type puzzles. I have quite a few, but I know of others
that I have not been able to find. Any offers to sell or suggestions on where
to look will be appreciated. Please do not send any puzzles to me without
first contacting me.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Granvold
Cupertino, Calif.

the magic domino can be obtained at Games People Play, Massachusetts Ave,
Cambridge Mass. (02139, i think). this may not help you in Ca, but i 
thought it would be useful information.
