Thank you Sir, might I have another!
Took 25 rolls for me, about half of them watching (without guessing) whether color and orientation of the dice mattered. Of course I'm not saying whether they do.

When I finally figured this out I beat myself to death with my own calculator.

I looked at it briefly and ruled a few plausible things out, then went to read the account of Bill Gates' attempt; I changed my approach after I read that the Marketing Coordinator solved it - reading an account of other people playing it was at least as instructive as trying it myself.

I let the clue "The name of the game is important" roll around in my head after I nearly failed miserably 16 times. Then I got it. =)
I promise never to divulge. =)

Fifteen minutes into the puzzle, I was actually drawing flowers trying to divine numbers from them using graph theory. After fifteen minutes of that, I was reciting 'petals around the rose' like a mantra, which was actually much more useful.

Haha. I was very worried i wouldnt be able to figure it out. I was so very tempted to peek under google for the answer. But it came in a flash of uh insighting(?) light... YES!
Forget Gates.
How would Steve Jobs have dealt with P.A.T.R.?
He would have taken your dice. And Called You a Bitch. He only uses white dice.

I was referred to your site from Slashdot! I absolutely love the story about Bill Gates.
I feel inspired to torment some people with this...it is great.
Three simple rules and we say nothing more!

 Oh, yeah! Cool. I got it after revisiting the clues a few times. I'm glad to be in the petals fraternity.

OH GAWD!
I just sat here staring at the monitor for the past 5 hours straight, yes, I came across the petals at 10:30, and got up solely for more Mt Dew. Finally I figured it out!!! Christ, I even had my Calc book out!
My eyes burn...
