Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

Took me about eight minutes. I believe it's easier for visual learners or people who tend towards symbolizing things (the type of people who would get caught up trying to figure out why the game is called Petals Around the Rose), which may be why some say that the puzzle is more difficult for "smarter" people.

It took me not more than 10 minutes to solve this puzzle, even when i was chatting with my friends

My brother sent it to me wanting me to help him with it, took me a while, maybe twenty minutes, but now I've got it and he hasn't and I'm not letting on... let him stew ;)

Finally!

Now I finally understand why everyone who's figured it out looks smug and pleased with themselves!

I just emailed it to the guys in our College. There are now about 1300 members of staff simultaniously going because they can't get it and about 5 so far chuckling smugly!

The BG story was amusing. Didn't spot that til after I'd solved it though.. probably would have helped me on the way

it took me like 5 minutes to figure out this puzzle. A guy at skool showed me and after he said the name a couple of times it hit me...then he did

Pleased and honored to be among such great minds

Got it right at once.

Thanks for the Bill Gates story.... it helped a lot! I finally got it.

very clever - enjoyed it. Got it straight away after i gave it a break

This is an awesome game...I spent all day on this one, and finally got it when I--duh--looked closer at the title.
Alrighty then!
Hint to anyone stuck: (haha) 1, 5, 5, 5, 3 = 14
Thanks, all
