I finally figured out how to get the correct answer, but it has nothing to do with the name of the puzzle... am I missing the point? Or maybe the problem, as currently stated, is overdetermined....

"Introduction to General Systems thinking"
Weinberg, Gerald
Are your lights on?
A better hint:
How many petals are oaround the rose_s_?
Time to solve: < 30 seconds.
BUT: Not really.
Only on the trials I instantiated.
What actually _is_ the eigenstate?

My friend introduced me to this brain teaser and guarenteed me that I could not figure it for at least a week. It took an hour.

ok... they say the longer it takes you to figure out, the smarter you are, whichc honestly insults me. Im a pretty smart person, but this thing took me maybe 15, 20 seconds to figure out.

A good exercise . . . it took me a good 20 minutes to get it.
The most needlessly confusing aspects of the layout are:
1. The implication that the dice have to be in a certain order.
2. The misleading ambiguity of the name.
Having read the Bill Gates story, I suspected that order may not matter, though this is unclear at the start. On perusing other versions of the game, I found one in which the dice are thrown randomly. Immediately I realized the solution.
Thanks for a neat site!
