Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

Ready... now what?

GOT IT! took about 15 minutes total to figure it out.
I will LOVE playing this game with friends!

Okay, I've got it. I guess right every time. The only thing that really bothers me is this: how the heck does the name matter!?

Had to stretch my brain for a good 20 minutes before figuring this out... great puzzle... wonder how frustrated my bro'll get...?

Great puzzle.

It reminds me of "odd but not peculiar"
Similar rules to PATR:
1. You can share the name of the game, "odd but not peculiar"
2. You cannot tell how to solve the game, but can give examples.
3. All examples are in the form of "word 1" but not "word 2"

For example:

Moon but not star
Teeth but not tongue

When someone gives you an example, you tell them either "yes, that is odd but not peculiar" or "no, that is not a correct example of 'odd but not peculiar'"

For instance, when someone says,

Spoon but not fork

my response is yes.

When someone says

Plate but not bowl

my response is no.

I figured the PATR out in about five minutes using the website, http://crux.baker.edu/cdavis09/roses.html

If you haven't picked up on "odd but not peculiar", email me examples and I will respond.

After reading the Bill Gates story I figured it out... Great brain dump!

It was fun and easy. I cannot wait to get the Yahtzee dice out for my kids, brothers, sisters, wife and friends. What a great science fair experiment as well. Think of all the graphing one could do! How many rolls to figure out by age, sex, job, education level. And the rules are so simple. Just like Go.

too easy

stupidest shit ive ever seen in my life you queer's whoever actually post really responses on this forum. loser engineers.

Also, I offer this psuedo-mathy explanation as an alternative to the more intuitive solution:

Considering the rolls as a function:
Domain {five dice, each numbered 1 to 6}
Range {0,2,4,...,12}

Solution
Substitue the following values:
evens -> 0
1 -> 0
3 -> 2
5 -> 4
Sum the substitued values.
