Took me three minutes, and as someone already noted, the significance of the name gave it away!
The story about Bill Gates' time with it was sure fun though (although honestly upon hindsight anyone who reads it will be able to uncover the secret!).

Took me about 8 rolls. Maybe 5 minutes. Didn't catch the significance of the game's name until a few minutes later. I guess I'm still too analytical.

Read the story of Bill Gates and got the strategy from the hint "The name of the game is ..." Must show this to the folks at school! An excellent puzzle.

Had it after the third guess!! Simple if you are open minded.

Took me a few goes but I got it. I started writing down all the throws but the comment in the 1977 article that said someone got it in a few rolls made me think I was on the wrong track and rethink my approach. Very nice!

I read the directions and got it the first try. I was a little surprised it was so easy, but sometimes you get lucky. The key phrase "the name is important" gave it away.
