Clever, very very literal. The key is to ask yourself how the answers could possibly be restricted to even numbers when all of these odd numbers keep showing up...

Nice, though more literal than I'd thought. Reminds me of an old fraternity (drinking) game we used to play called "One up, one down." Drove the pledges *nuts*.

This riddle is quite interesting. I solved it after 10 or 12 rolls, while reading the Bill Gates story. Greetings and congratulations to everyone who solved it.

I wish they would make this a little harder by not having the answer in the page source...

My experience was rather similar to that of Enti -- I never did figure out exactly how the name of the puzzle was relevant. I had been glaring at the occurrences of a certain number, however, and thinking about what pattern of spots most closely resembled a rose led me to glare at that number some more.

guessed the pattern before the first role. as far as i read, i'm the first to do so. WEEE. just goes to show how simple my mind is.

then just for kicks i made a matrix and assumed my answer was correct and after some rolls popped out a confirmation to my guess.

but still, without the maker confirming it to me i can't be certain it's not just coincidence that what i think is the answer has been the answer so far. now THERE'S a puzzle

at first I thought I'd never get it. Thought a little more about the title and that's it!

After a couple of guesses, but before I knew the rule, I got a 75% chance of guessing by intuition what would be the score. But I couldn't tell myself. Bit of an DRM experience.
