Standards Scientist Diverts
Talent Search by Paper Dolls

have been trying to duplicate the
feat ever since-with Indifferent
success.
Paul j. Schlichta, IT. of Brooklyn,
tried to explain it this morning dur
ing a five-minute break between
lectures. In his hand was piece OF
paper which he kept folding and
unfolding while his companions
watched
THE idea" he explained, 'is to
fold single piece of paper into
six triangles arranged in hexagon
with a hole in the center. Each tri-
angle is marked with the number
one, then you turn it inside out
and the number two comes up on
each triangle. You keep on doing
that til you get every number ur
| to six. Six triangles. six turns, and
it turns inside out each time
hence, hexa-hexa -flexagon. Get it?'
What about that trisca -hexa-fex-
agon?
"Oh, that's when you make II
with 13 numbers. It's tougher that
way" he explained.
Last year, the contestants were
still working on DR.. Tuckerman.'s
paper dolls when they boarded thei'
trains for home.
