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. =]

it took me like ten minutes to figure this out. I was about to go crazy, however after i solved it, i read about the bill gates story and it made me feel much better about myself.

It took a few days of on and off playing, but I finally figured it out! ^_^ It truly is a wonderful feeling when you understand it. Problem solving is both so frustrating and fun.
