Was introduced to this on Monday evening by a friend, using real dice. Two present 'Got It' in a couple of minutes whereas the other two of us (including me) still failed after quarter of an hour. I was reassured that clever people have greater difficulty in solving the problem!! Nice really - you get to feel smug if you get it, and smug for a different reason if you don't... everyone wins
Still, I was enjoying the novelty of the challenge so much the news there was an online Petals Around The Rose proved irresistable - found this site that night and spent a further two hours trying to fathom it out, to no avail. Tried again this evening (Tues) and, after a cumulative total since I first started of about 150 rolls and heaven knows how many differing theories and equations, light just dawned blissfully at seven minutes to one on Wednesday morning, and I'd reeled off 37 straight correct answers by one o'clock...
I am therefore become a Potentate of the Rose, and realise there may now be nothing left to live for. What on Earth happens next?!?

I got it in 6 guesses. That makes me happy because I'm not usually that quick with puzzles!

Since I'm not a guy do I still qualify for a fraternity, I wonder?...
Anyway, really great game, took my about 10 minutes to get, my sisters still don't know what the heck I'm doing.

When do I get to be sworn in? I hated this for fifteen minutes and now think it's fantastic.... had to think outside the box. Love that.
