I did it! I was getting sick of hearing that two-bit hack Bill Gates could do it, but I finally figured it out. And in less time mind you. cool

But I gotta say, the online version always has the five die in a row, which I'm sure gets people thinking up algorithms of a spatial nature. Even the dice coloring confused me at first. Best way to do it is like it would've been in real life -- no rows but just jumbled up, and all dice of the same color.

I also thought it was some sort of word play, "Petals around the *ROWS*", since all 5 die in a row.

So do I get some sort of ritual ceremony? Maybe a virgin sacrifice or something? wink

Petals Around the Rose shows once again that the answers to the most vexing problems are usually hidden in plain sight.
