One trillion three hundred and seven
billion six hundred and seventy-four mil
lion three hundred and sixty ght thousand
is believed to be the number of different
combinations that can he made of the tif-
teen blocks used in the new puzzle that is
now racking the brains of the American
people. In order to place the blocks in these
different positions, it would require >, 49,
9oo years, 800 days, allowing the person
doing it to consume one minute in making
each combination, working twenty-four
hours Il day, Sundays included. If old
father Adam had commenced on the first
day of his existence to form the different
combinations, and lived and worked at them
ever since, he would only have got fairly
started.
