Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

I got the answers correct just after reading the mistake Bill Gate made.

I got it much more quickly than I expected to!

I am a potentate of the ROSE

Fantastic! I love a good challenge, which this puzzle certainly provided. Thank you! I am looking forward to sharing this with my friends... and to being a cruel and heartless wretch, as promised.

Took me about an hour, most of which was spent staring blankly at the name of the game. ^^;

Hi I got it for three days. shocks

It took me about an hour and a half to figure this out, but I think I was hindered by reading the background story first. Knowing Bill Gates and other 'smart' folk were scratching their heads at this puzzle gives you a preconcieved notion of the solution. I think if I had simply seen the puzzle and tried cracking the pattern, it would have occured to me sooner. But, maybe that's an intrigal part of the puzzle...the backstory.

I did it and secert was simple

I hate this puzzle, and was half-asleep when I solved it.

Yes, I've done it.
