Much fun! I can't believe I figured it out in ten minutes. I'm still not sure why it's called Petals Around the Rose, though!

One of the coolest brain teasers I've seen in awhile and I will never divulge the secret. It ruins the fun.

Got it after seeing 3 rolls. Just like a lot of puzzles, you either have the intuition up front or you struggle for some indeterminant amount of time unti you do.

Took me like 30 tries, but I finally got it, time to play this on co-workers...

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.
