Eh. Easy. It took me 5 rolls to figure it out. I tried and discarded 3 different hypotheses in the process, then examined it for 3 seconds and applied some logic.
Figuring this game out is an exercise in problem solving and observation. If there's any correlation between intelligence and the ability to work out the secret, the die definitely fall on the side of ability to master and assimilate variables = quicker solutions. Ergo, the more intelligent really will grasp it quicker in general terms. The problem with the assertion of greater intelligence = longer time spent is that it relies on QED logic, i.e. omg, Bill didn't get it. Bill is smart. Therefore smart people take longer. It's a fallacious syllogism, given that one *presupposes* greater intelligence and therefore rationalizes the failure post factum.
