I was hunkered down with 6 rolls of my own and the 16 from the story about Bill Gates, trying to work out patterns on paper, when my right brain sat up and said, "You dumb ape! The answer is...." And it was.

Yeah, kind of a lame trick in the end... I tried two rolls, read the bill gates story, and then knew the answer.

Love the puzzle. And a rose by any other name would lead to an altogether different puzzle, but this one is called petals around the rose. smile

I got it in way fewer rolls than Bill Gates. Where's my billions?

Will have to pull this one out for all my "smart" friends!

Suddenly the fact that the name is important came back to me and everything became clear.
I agree that art school is better preparation for this than mathematics wink
