It took me three rolls of the Bill Gates story to get it. Not bad for a mathematician! smile

Great challenge, took me about 100 rolls until I had that "Eureka" moment.

2 rolls, no clue. Took a phone call. Next roll, bam it hits me. Will definitely help fight the boredom around the office for a few days.

I lucked out on my second guess -- like others have said, it's all in the name -- without that clue, who knows how long it would have taken.

Good times, good times... Would be much harder if not for the name-of-the-game hint.

The name says it all. Unfortunatly, those of us with engineering (i.e. Mathematical) backgrounds will look for the answer in the wrong place. What a great feeling at cracking such a simple puzzle. Cheers.

I really should have figured it out a lot sooner, took almost an hour.

smile Well, it took me a while, but I finally got it. So easy a first grader or kindergartener could do it! That's what makes it hard. Reminds me of that old Groucho Marx line (I hope I got this right) : "It's so easy a 5-year-old child could do it. Get me a five-year-old child. I can't make heads or tails of it." big grin
