i worked on this on and off for abt a day.
nearly killed myself when i figured it out... it's so simple!!! and yes, the name of the game is so relevant.
the ego of my IQ has taken a beating. *sigh* at least i'm now in the team!l ol

I don't know how many rolls it took, but I got it after I was told the answer had to be even.

Got this puzzle on the 6th guess, didn't read the bill gates thing or any hints, puzzle title made cracking it simple, but first couple guesses really were blind guesses til you had results to find the pattern with.

I cracked it, but only after reading a hint in the forum. I still don't see the relation to the title though

Nice little puzzle, had me guessing blindly for the first few tries. Having the Bill Gates story where I can compare the rolls and results helped way too much though.
I'm off to try it on my friends.

I finally got it....even though it took more tries than I'm proud of!
Divulging that the name of the game is important is a giveaway in hindsight!

"The name is significant" - that should so easily tell you how to solve this. How obvious could it be?

Great puzzle. It dawned on me as I read the story about Bill Gates trying to figure it out.
