William Lipp On (07 Jan 97) was overheard to say to Ron Mcdermott
 -=> Quoting Ron Mcdermott to Dal Jencso <=-
 WL> My personal experience was playing with a puzzle called "Soma Cubes"
 WL> (I think).  It had seven 3-dimensional pieces each composed of 3 or 4
 WL> cubes in different configurations.  They could be combined to make a
 WL> 3x3x3 cube and other shapes.  When I first started I had to pick up a
 WL> piece and rotate it to figure out how it would fit with another piece.
 WL>  After a while I could imagine the rotation, I didn't need to actually
 WL> do it.
 Kind of like the Rubic Cube of great popularity a few years ago?
 After a while I could imagine the rotation and correct line up .. I
 didn't need to actually do it.... 
... If there were no golf balls how would we measure hail?
