Update: Andrew Waser (Chief Mad Scientist, Xylocopa Design) sez, " I
wanted to make a small correction – the blocks actually come five to a
set (with 26 unique illustrations), not 26 individual blocks. I don't
want anyone to be disappointed if they order in confusion!
You and your readers also might appreciate that the blocks have a
super-secret built in encryption function – if you rotate any block
180 degrees, it'll encode to ROT13. If it's good enough for Adobe
Acrobat, it's good enough for Mad Science!"
