I thought the answer had to do witht he color of the dice for the first 62 rolls >_>

Then i read you can play with normal dice and got my first correct on roll 70.

The answer groped its way to me after three hours or so, and around about 1000+ gratuitous rolls later... well, so much for logic.

It's all so terrifyingly simple.

That was so insane XD
I figures it out after 60 or so rolls; but when I found it out I was just thinking how simple it was.

Yes, don't think much at all. If you strain your brain at all, it won't come to you really. O.O

Wow, that took me about an hour of constant trying to figure out. I tried everything I could think of. Eventually, I figured out that a roll with two 5's was an 8 but I wasn't sure why. Over time, I was able to figure it out. I really should have pondered the name more than the dice themselves big grin

Wow, i probally would've went insane if my friend didn't remind me about the name after a little while. I was doing some mathematical formula, addition, subtraction, patterns, ect.

If you find the solution fast, then you are dumb and cannot think too complicated.

If you find the solution slow, then you are smart. You know so many algoritems and math that you cannot see the easy answer.

Took me a while smile
Tried addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents, logarithms, percentages... and considered the possibility of its being a pun ("Rose" = "Rows")
Had to bang my head on the wall several times when I got the answer.

*Moral: Don't think too hard... in fact, don't think much at all.

I also tortured myself with the Rose-Rows idea after I had been through a billion mathematical methods and was finally reminded of the significance of the name. Deepest sympathies. =]
