Haven't seen them in years. LOVED them as a kid - could spin them for hours

Ah, I was waiting for this one. Well done, Brian!

There were some variations that made it fun to master the skill.

After LL/CL
EL 4 r20 = c12 white
LL
(reverse) EL 4 c7 : if c7 r19-20 were both white, there would be a conflict in c11. Therefore at least c7r19 must be black.
LL to finish

I was never coordinated enough to play jacks. I couldn't even get onesies.

I was waiting too, Teresa. What a nice representation of a three-dimensional jack, Brian. You even got the blunt thingies that kept us from sticking ourselves. And the balls were always red. I *loved* playing jacks.

These look like they may even be worse to step on in the middle of the night than Legos.

When I was a child jacks was played with what we called knucklebones (not really sure which bone they came from). These days you can get these made from plastic in the shape of the bones.

Christine and Kristen...ewww!

On a side note, this was a short series, but I really enjoyed making it.

I thought it was going to be a car jack. Love the image
