It took me about 3 days to figure it out when my teacher introduced it to us. A lot of my classmates cheated and looked it up on the web but I was a bit determined to get it on my own. Despite how quickly they came up with the answers (it was a bit of a hint but I didn't pay much mind until I started getting frustrated) I kept trying a bunch of formulas based on the name of the game. By the second day (we played about a half hour each day, he threw about 20 rolls and we didn't get much time to absorb the info, and barely enough time to write down the numbers and the answers) anyways... I'd finally started trying to re-arrange the pipits. I had been trying to fit them around the center pipit instead though, and it wasn't until the 3rd day, 70th roll or something of the like, that it just came to me. I originally tallied wrong though, thinking it was for any center pipit die. Then I made a simple adjustment after a couple incorrect guesses and had it...
Nevertheless very intriguing. I just wish my teacher let us examine the die a bit longer on each throw, I might have been able to figure it out sooner.
