Simple things

I love this calendar Nicki brought back from Cuba.

1. 2 cubes = 6 × 2 digits
2. days 1 to 31 = 1,2 and 3 with 6,7 and 8 plus 0,1,2,3,4 and 5
3. 5 bricks = 4 × 5 faces
4. 20 faces = 12 months + 7 days + 1 title

Part of what makes it so interesting is how inapropriate a device it is for a first-worlder’s desk. Keeping the right faces in the right places is ludicrously expensive if you look at the man hours required…
