A Sid
Sackson Quiz:
A Rose by Any Other...
ANSWER
FOR QUESTION 4
4. Monad
- Sid was asked to do a card game 
that was
"familiar but different"!
Out of that puzzling paradox came this gem. Monad
first appeared in the
cassette type (aka "butterdish") packaging containing a deck of
special cards and a bunch of big circular black and white "Monads". Sid remarked in a letter to 3M that
when he opened the cassette box, a bunch of those Monads rolled on
the floor! Unfortunately, not an uncommon occurrence, I'm afraid, which probably accounts for the appearance
of the more familiar gamette style box. The real mystery is how "Infinite
Plane" turned into
Monad!
