Tried three rolls, didn't get it, read the document, and it suddenly dawned on me when I got to the bottom. Great!

Found the link via boingbboing.net. Very fun challenge. Brain is feeling nice & flexible today; got it after 4-5 rolls.

Fun! It's like the letters puzzle that separates the alphabet into two groups: kids tend to get it quickly since they're used to taking things at face value, while adults try to find some more complicated solution and reject the obvious one.

I got it pretty much instantly.
I guess some people's brains are just wired right for this particular puzzle.

i could only rewad about bill gates' expierience, as i got firefox, but i fugured it out within two rolls. Im at a loss as to how such smart people could be so hopelessly unable to see the answer

I decided first to read about Bill Gates and his experience with the puzzle. I figured it out just from reading that, and never got to play the game! The real solution was the first thing I had thought of, and I couldn't believe that that was the solution! But I think it's a great brain teaser anyway and I'll try it on some others.
