Thanx to all those in netland who "kindly" informed me of the original
source for the acronym equations. Apologies to GAMES Magazine for not
giving due credit. (Also to Reader's Digest if my sources are correct).
Apparently two more sets of equations have been published by GAMES, parts
of which have been mailed to me. I'll be happy to forward these through
the mail to anyone who's interested. Enough requests for the answers
were made that I feel it's worthwhile publishing them to the net.
Incidentally, I finally tracked down my source for the questions. It was
a friend of mine from Boston who got them off the Net last year. OOPS!
