Beautiful . . . . got it on the 9th roll of the Bill G story.
Was kicking myself for not paying more attention to the name of the game earlier on !!!.

It was fun - and, I must admit, VERY easy for me. The first roll of the dice, I looked and saw the pattern right away and every roll after that produced a correct response. I'd like to think I'm a genius.....but then, I would have invented Microsoft or some such bazillion-dollar company, right? cool

I got the answer in about 5 minutes. It's rather obvious once you see it.

Very interesting puzzle. This would be a great bar game. Poor Mr. Gates -I would have expected him to do better. I bet Steve Jobs figured it out sooner!

I had somewhat of an idea on my first roll, but I assumed one thing wrong. On the second roll I got it.

Really good fun.

Even after you figure it out, you sometimes are too quick and get it wrong. What an interesting way to practice outloud!

I got this immediately, what's so hard? The name of the game explains all. Guess that's why I'm not Bill Gates. Plus, I can spell.

It isn't that he can't spell, it's that he heard "pedals" instead of "petals". And people who can actually do complex math problems expect them.

I am always hooked on puzzles. And I'm amused by the comment that "the smarter you are, the longer it takes". Everyone gets uptight about that!

I hate people who say they immediately figured it out on the first roll.

I saw the light after about 10 minutes on the 13th roll in the Gates story. I had to focus on the name of the game to get it. It was a challenge not to just Google the answer on the Net.

eek!
