Eureka

This is awesome...that's all there is to it. I will guard the secret well.

Who the F#%( invented this game i want to kill them this is such a lame solution to it i can't belive it took me so long to work it out

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. - Marx (Groucho)

interesting puzzle =p at first I thought it would relate somehow to Fibonacci's Sequence, since the number of petals on a flower is always a fibonacci number.

Total time: 10 min.
