Did it in about half-an-hour at lunchtime. Very annoying, but deeply satisfying once you know you can do it.

I'm now going to make it my mission inflict this on everyone at work. wink

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.

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"!!!!

embarrassment

oops im sorry
NOT again eek! cool
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 smile

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" confused -that was me. I got it 5 times in a row the wrong way...




GRR

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