Anyone care to help me understand why the name is important, without giving away the algorithm of how to solve it?
The solution is really very easy - it can be solved using 2nd grade math |

Look at the dice, and compare with whatever algorithm you have developed. Look at the name closely again.
Check out the dice.

I solved it with math as well. Took me quite a while to finally get it. My wife got it in three rolls thanks to the name clue. It is quite obvious once you figure it out. |

You don't need to use math to solve it. It can be solved visually, and then the name makes sense. |

I DON'T GET IT!
How in the world does 'Petals around the Rose' have anything to do with math and dice? |

Well, if you don't understand the significance of the name, I would guess you haven't actually solved it. |

Just found the site. I think I got the meaning behind the name, but only after finding out the math behind the answer. I got up to 20 in a row correct before tiring of playing it. Seems to be the correct solution, but I am still not sure about the name clue. If someone could e-mail me the meaning it would be much appreciated. bluesmiley (AT) etvwclub (dot) com. Thanks. I am looking forward to showing this game to my family, but would like to verify the meaning of the name first. _________________ --)---------
