This an article about how the allies where able to estimate the number of German Tanks produced based on the Serial Numbers of the Tanks. Neat!. Godwin does not apply.

I love Magic Folding Cubes
(If you are not sure what they are, look them up here... http://www.math.nmsu.edu/~breakingaway/Lessons/MFC/MFC.html)
In fact, I built one for myself and they are fun.
Looking up whether I could make a small hobby/craft out of this, I found out that they seem to be patented.
http://www.google.com/patents?id=VXIJAAAAEBAJ&zoom=4&rview=1&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q=&f=false
On the other hand I believe there is a clear precedent that would make this patent invalid. There was
a prior invention, the Yoshimoto Cube http://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/a-nishi/y_cube/z_y_cube.html that shows the same kind
of moves that the magic cube have.
So far, my options are
1. Go naive, make several and expect not to be caught. It is possible, but I'd rather stay legal
2. Pay the royalties, although I could not find a website or anywhere to know where to go and negotiate those except sending a snail mail that most likely will be tossed out as spam.
3. Mount a challenge to the patent (expensive I think).
4. ??????
I know I should go to patent lawyer, but I would like to hear of people's opinion about this before commiting more time, and re$sources to this.
Thanks

What is Windows 7 EULA?
I want to preorder it, but so far I have not been able to find it out. How many firstborns do we have to sacrifice?
