I believe the CD-ROM also included an interview which should not be part of the word count. Yes, the Flexagon article makes 298, but the October 1975 article never made it to book. Furthermore, Gardner appears to have created some 14 new chapters for the books, most likely new material but the possibility exists that some were column rearrangements.
