Man, that was pretty easy- guess I'm a simple thinker. Take THAT Bill Gates!

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.

Thinking simply is a strong suit of mine
A good trick though I have made nothing of the importance of the name of the game... wasn't involved in the solution for me.

I wasn't able to get the javascript app to work so I clicked through to the description of Bill Gates' attempt. (I'm using an old version of Mozilla until I can upgrade glibc) I solved it from the examples. It took me about 10 minutes of work with 5 minutes, a 10 minute interruption and another 5 minutes trying. I think the interruption helped tremendously.
