Thanks to SF Gates' Jon Carroll for the link. Took me about an hour. I am now in the process of tormenting others!

It took me about 5 minutes to figure out. Very interesting once you have the solution.

I got it only after I'd been playing a computer game that is solved by moving pieces vertically or horizontally. That's when I heard rose differently.

I got it within four hours of being challenged today. I had about six rolls and their solutions to analyze. Glad to have had the fun!

Saw this written up in Jon Carroll's column in the SF Chronicle. Boy, did it bring back memories! I learned this circa 1962, but it had a much better story with it then. None of the computer geek stuff; much more mysterious.

Took me about 2 days to figure it out. I did it hard way. My genius friends can't get it, yet the bartender in our favorit bar...she figured it out in 2 minutes.
