Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

VERY interesting puzzle!

Took me about 50 rolls, and it just suddenly hit me out of nowhere. There is a similar game involving polar bears, fish, and plankton, and I hunted down the rules on the internet. I wish there was a program like this for the polar bear game.

i finaly got it. now i never want to hear or see that puzzle ever again. i waisted 3 houers of my life trying to figure it out. all becouse i was curious what the solution was

Woohoo nice puzzle. Was thinking a lot took me a few hrs ;D great puzzle.

I have to say... This game nearly killed all my brain cells... My friend introduces this game to me... Thought I just do it for her sake, I realized I am not that good in programming after all. Sad. However, it did surprise me as I didn't expect myself to solve it the next day after a good night sleep. Surprise right?
In all case, as in most cases, it is a fun game.

PS. Good thing I do study programming. I can't imagine people reading those complicated source code.

I guess being not a native speaker of English made me know how it works from the very first moment I looked at it.
Honestly, what else could the tiltle of that game mean?

Phew!.... not that bad!.. just got it within 1 min. Swear! PromisE.... ^_^

Finally got it after 15-20 minutes of racking through dice rolls.

I got it in like ten minutes. It was a good puzzle. My Dad showed it to me today.

This game's been driving me nuts since 6th grade when a teacher played it with us. I'll always remember her nasal voice intoning, "the name of the game is 'Petals Around the Rose.' The name of the game is significant. The answer is always an even number..." I could never find anyone who knew it to play with me so I could get it...thanks to this site, I finally got to play again, and I think my soul can now rest in peace. Thanks!
