Well, the 3 odd hours on the website, and the countless hours it kept me awake sure as hell werent worth it in the long run, What a simple problem... But still whoever thought of this, its classic

Thank You, for a great challenge

3 of my colleagues and I sat down to solve this game. Being the first among the 4 of us to break it, I took half an hour to solve. I managed to do it with Mr Gates hint: PEDAL around the rose... That was amazing! ~ Edmund (Singapore)

Tried for about an hour.... Then...
It blew my mind when I found the solution was so easy. I was starting to get really frustrated.

Solved it with 7 examples. It can be modeled as a system of linear equations in 6 variables.

 Years of brain teasers in an advanced elementary program led to a speedy response. Common sense and logical thoughts certainly helped, too.

30 mins of bald spot scratching mad it worse then the answer dawned on me
