Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

Haha... it took me about an hour or more to solve it. Even though I kept thinking I had to find the rose and the petals around it. Ugh. Haha.

I figured it out by thinking about the name of the game and the rules, not by the dice. The page I read it from had a background which gave me a clue on how to think about it, so I don't know if I did it the "right" way. But I'm still pleased to have got it.

it is a brilliant teaser !!!!

No its not rocket science....u need to pay attention and use ur brains to get it....and as the website said "the smarter u are the longer it will take u to figure it out"...


~~cheers to all who got it !!!
~~good luck to all else !!

well..
the patterns remind me of the frieddler ditribution of the 1st order. the beauty of the algorithm is that emergence of multiple harmonics is strictly constrained due to the constr.

but the convergence time IS of the order 'n"!!!!



oops im sorry
NOT again
cheers

This is not a bad game. I saw on another website that "the smarter you are, the longer you'll take to figure out"

I think that's already too much of a hint though

I played with my counselor at camp. Every night we would have a group come in our hall. I was always there. I never found out the solution there but thought of all of these different mathematical ways. I did a google search which led me to this website and eventually I solved it.- "Petals around the rose" -that was me. I got it 5 times in a row the wrong way...

I solved it while on this website, and nearly confused my grandma to death trying to teach her this game.

actually i solved it a month ago at a camp were my councelor showed my. There are actually three solutions. I figured them all out. The best part is showing it to my friends. Really ticks them off .

I guess its easier if the dice are BIG.. answer strikes easily. On a passing thought, a regression b/w past throws and correct answer can also give a hint (the coefficients). But this is one great teaser.

I consulted a Ph D. (statistics) student to crack this tough nut...its a simple example of Quartile Deviation followed by an application of Sheppard's correction...plot the curve and find Kurtosis Yield...simple..!
if that doesnt work, just use common sense...

Took about an hour. Every theory prior to the answer verged so close that it frustrated me. After figuring it out, I kicked myself.
