Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

Hehe. i saw this once when I was 14, once when I was 15 and then today. I have been playing mind games with my friends for the past week so I decided to give it a go.

When I was 14, I was impatient and never bothered to even think. When I was 15, I gave up after a few throws. But now managed to solve it in 10 minutes.

The key is not to think to much. Take on the mindset of a child and you'll solve it very easily.

Wow. I was looking WAY too deep. Came back to it after about an hour. Solved. Nice.

Although it took me four throws, my 11 year old daughter understood the game before even rolling the die. I asked the questin and she gave the correst answers instantly.

I solved it quickly. The name really does say it all!! I guessed the first time, got it wrong the second and then realized the answer which is ... (not telling)

cool trick! found it via Perplex City

My son gave me this puzzle when he got home from school today - it took me about 5 mins to work it out. Wey-hey, brain not dead yet!

My year 9 IT teacher put this puzzle up on the board today. I think I must have got it in 10 seconds. The rest of class was stumped, but it just pops out when you stop thinking too hard.

I'm surprised I've never seen this before... I'm also surprised more people don't get it immediately, given the name. =)

It took me about 10 minutes of playing with it to 'get it' but then I'm a very visual person.

i got it in school , then forgot and now after three trys i got it again
