Well that was cute.
It's a good way to beat into one's skull that it is very important to look at things in more than one way.

This game is a great indication of the thought processes of certain types of people. As an engineer, my thought processes led me down paths that were inevitably dead ends. Our skill set is varied enough between abstract and concrete that as one avenue of attack failed, thought processes shifted and the solution immediately popped into my head. I'll definitely have to remember this one.

This didn't work with Firefox. A nice puzzle, requires one to listen to the instructions.

Thanks!

Great argument for a certain type of thinking! Thanks.

Well, rather than take a blow to my ego, I stared at the screen for some minutes after reading the description. When I finally decided I had an idea what the puzzle was about, I made my first guess.

It and the next seven were correct.

Maybe it's all in the mysticism of the live presentation, but something about it seemed all too obvious.

I had fun, but didn't enjoy the red herring of dice colors (why does the set of colors used vary randomly? pick one collection of dice and stick to it, at least).

The first time I saw this game played it was with a deck of cards, and was called "Bears come in pairs around the waterhole".
I've seen it played with either 3 or 5 cards.
