I woke up this morning at 7:50, went to Slashdot, read a couple articles, wound up here, started reading the story, and worked it out before I'd finished. 25 minutes all told, but I'm guessing only 10 of that was on Petals around the Rose. So technically, I didn't roll the dice even once...

The javascript code in the HTML gives away the answer. You have broken your pledge.

I think this onlline version is kind of unfair because you used 3 different colored dices to throw me off while the real version only used real dices. For the first 10 minutes I was focusing on the pattern that was occuring in the colour, then I realized it has nothing to do with colour. NOT FAIR!
But I got it in the end...after thinking about the name a bit more. I have to admit, you have to be a little artistic to get link the name and the game. lol:

After a couple rolls, I realized the name was the key and after a false start, it all fell into place. Nifty.

I figured it out in about five minutes, but someone had given me the hint that smart people usually take longer to figure it out than dummies, so I knew I was looking for a SIMPLE rule.
