Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

damn it!! it took 20 mins of my life... anyway.. it can be logically solved... once of course... you already know the answer...

great game. i love brain teasers and this one is great. took me 8 tries. first i tried number crunching and the fact that for any number on the side dice will always equal 7 when added to the opposite side. but the real answer forced me to KISS. (keep it simple, stupid!)

I didn't get even one answer right before I finally figured it out and got every one right after that. You'd think I'd get at least one right. I'm never playing the lottery again, my talent with probability sucks.

My first theory was that each die was either positive or negative in value, and that the values would end up to be equal to n/2, where n was the answer to the roll. I ran sets of numbers through all possible combinations of addition or subtraction to determine whether my theory was correct or not.

I figured it out while sitting in the computer lab, watching the snow fall during a winter storm. I guess what they say about left-brain/right-brain is true; I got it wrong when I was in "math mode", and got it right once I relaxed into "art mode".

I got this immediately, on the first try. Seriously, I'm not just saying that. I just...saw it. I can't believe it takes some people so long! But I guess everyone just goes about problem solving in such different ways.

Arg. Thank goodness for people properly emphasizing the name. Took me far too long to realize how significant "significant" really meant.

Yikes! That was really annoying....I'm just glad I can inflict it on my friends now!!

Now that I've been driven insane for a short period of time, it's my turn to torment my friends with this little game

Spent *way* too much time on that game!!

The red/blue/green colors on the dice were cruel! I spent way too much time thinking that the answer had to do with the dice color..
