Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

It took me about 11 seconds to get it. Maybe I'm a freak. Anyway. Good puzzle. Had quite a bit of fun with others in the office with it.

This took me the better part of 2 hours to figure out. I enumerated dozens of algorithms trying to find a complex solution to this one. What really led to my solving the puzzle was determining why the solutions were always zero or even numbers.

hehehehe ....17 minutes of infuriating fun! This one is going to be fun for the people that overcomplicate everything (Mathies et al.).
Not too difficult to figure out if you remember the name. Not that I'm smart ..... the 17 minutes proved that I'm stupid by measure of the game. But is it really smarter to overcomplicate a simple problem?

ponder that one ....

Got it on the first try (guess that makes me increadibly stupid) ... I think the version I found online gives a clue away ... all the dice are set at "one" ... if you hit the "solution" button at this point it (obviously) tells you the answer of "zero" before even starting to play ... at that point I had it ...

It took me about 5 tries to figure it out. Now I feel stupid.

Some lateral thinking and there you go.

How infuriating! Got it in the end

Wierd thing is I usually do over-complicate things and am studying a degree in Maths. I don't normally have much common sense but this was just tooo easy!!

I cannot believe how easy this game actually is when people are making such a fuss about it. I had an idea what the answer was when I first saw it and it only took 2 gos to confirm

Ok... so this took me a while. Like 45 minutes. I kept examining word lengths, averaging totals compared to samples, creating extremely overcomplicated formulas. Then i figured it out, threw my completely scattered notepaper away, and realized that the game truly is harder the "smarter" you are, or at least the more inclined you are to overcomplicate things.
