	I am looking for Rubik's cube type magic polyhedra.  The only one
I can find is the 3x3x3 cube--all the others (from the Golden Age of
Polyhedra back in the early 1980's) seem to be off the market.  Does
anybody know where I can get (or would anybody like to sell) some of the
others?  I seem to recall a magic tetrahedron called Pyraminx, a cube which
turns along non-orthogonal lines called Squewb, a Magic Dodecahedron, a 
4x4x4 cube, etc.

	Please e-mail replies.  Thanks.

	Objpuzzle for rec.puzzles: consider a dictionary in which all words
are alphabetized according to their alpha-sorted letter order (thus the
word banana is spelled "aaabnn" for the purpose of alphabetization).  What is
the last word in this dictionary?
