Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

It took me 2 hours to figure out what PETALS AROUND THE ROSE MEAN.

That took me slightly over two hours to figure out! I tried every algorithm imaginable. Ironically I (finally) got it before realizing the significance of the name.

I learned this game at a math camp for adults. Fantastic!

Immediately brought back memories of polar bears and disappearing ice holes!!

Got it in ten.... guesses that is.
Feel a 'wound from the thorn' that it took so long!

Er - I am a senior manager in a large corpn who managed to get the lowest ever score in my company on verbal / visual reasoning tests - got a quiet call from the HR department to warn me and persuaded them to delete it. However, my faith in my ability is restored as it took me a huge 90 seconds to work this one out. So there's hope for me yet. Name sort of gave it away.

I feel clever, oh so clever.... oh so pretty and witty and bright... and I pity any girl without a rose tonight!

Reminds me of "Elephants and Iceholes" which is played by hand. It was a case of working out how the elephants came to be!

Got it...may never speak to my son-in-law again...but I got it in just under an hour...

Woohoo! Got it in less than an hour!
