Sweet! It took a few days of plodding along a little bit at a time. Heard of the game from a friend, with only the title and no hints - then looked at the descriptive on this site and once I learned that the title was of significance, it was easy to figure out! Now to pass on the challenge to others...

It's so easy when you think about it now!

I knew it couldn't have been that complicated..

It'll be useful sooner or later!!

Well it took me a couple of hours to bang my head to try to solve the puzzle.

Then i read somewhere that someone had said about the puzzle that the smarter you are, the longer it takes you to figure this out. This made me happy and dep inside i felt i could actually be smart. wink

But then suddenly my bubble of "being smart" was shattered and it dawned upon me what was going on in the Petals Around the Rose.

But i guess i was more happy to have been able to solve the puzzle. bounce

big grin took me 20 rolls to fail few simple common possible algorithms I can think of and to almost give up. It helps me solve it after I read the story about Bill Gates and the game. The hints from the reading is "it couldn't be that complicated, you spit the answer in 2 seconds while you had trouble counting your change on last breakfast". Well good game ! hahahaha

I can see the "petals" and the "rose" now.
Thanks to the inventor of the game and to my friend who introduced the game to me. God bless!

It took me a whole day trying to figure it out. Using math equation should solve the problem, although it takes more rolls to get the answers.

It took me 2 and a half hours of staring and pointless solving to get the simple answer and by the end i felt slightly homicidle as i thought the person who gave it to me sent me on a wild goose chase but we both survived and i feel glad that i did it. cool

Got it. Very frustrating though. Took a long time. Had to come back to it a few times
