Wow~ I finally got it! After like 3 or 4 tries? Hee~

Actually I've got the link quite long ago but I didn't have the time then so wasn't bothered to attempt after reading the one on Bill Gates, and then a couple of rolls. Today a colleague emailed the link to me and I'm so glad that he reminded me of this quest!! This time round I reread the article on Bill Gates, and then was determined to solve it this time round.

I came home from office with my mind running madly trying to think of mathematical ways and equations that may be related to the phrase "petals around the rose". Was thinking so hard even through my bathe!! Then after bathing I first read comments from http://www.po-mo.us/petals/comments.htm and gathered that it's nothing to do with mathematics and tried to relax my mind a bit for the big creative-mind-cum-common-sense-challenge like many mentioned in the comments. I had dinner trying to think of ways to look at the dice without thinking of maths, and then straight after dinner I was sitting here in front of my lappy again, and started rolling.

I rolled a couple of times and then went back to read the rest of the comments cos I thought I haven't had enough hints, and then when I went back to the puzzle later I solved it in a roll or two! I rolled and rolled, trying out many times to make sure that I'm right all the way. Yea I'm amazed. Great puzzle!

I do know many games like that you know? Games with numbers that started out making you count and totally lost, then later realised that you should be concentrating elsewhere and not by mere numbers. We play such games at campfire or during gatherings where we will make the newcomers utterly puzzled. =P Cool uh?

Great game! Will definitely recommend my friends. smile

Alright, this took me WAY too long... spent what seems to be a week frusterated with this thing and too stubborn to admit defeat! But now, alas, I have figured it out!

After 10 rolls, I read the bill gates article, thought thought about the name of the game for about 30 seconds, and voila!

A bit of a teaser, not too difficult, once you think about it. I could see how it could drive someone insane, if they put too much thought into it.
