Well it took me a couple of hours to bang my head to try to solve the puzzle.
Then i read somewhere that someone had said about the puzzle that the smarter you are, the longer it takes you to figure this out. This made me happy and dep inside i felt i could actually be smart.
But then suddenly my bubble of "being smart" was shattered and it dawned upon me what was going on in the Petals Around the Rose.
But i guess i was more happy to have been able to solve the puzzle.
