I´ve found a mathematical solution... please, someone has to tell me the easy answer...
I´ve noticed that when a 3 or a 5 is on the dice you have to rest one unit from those... and the other dice you have to eliminate them
example:
3 3 1 6 1 = 4
it would be like this
2 2 --(1 6 1)-- = 2 + 2= 4
another example
5 5 5 3 2 = 14
4 4 4 2 --(2)-- = 4 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 14
try it!!!
and please tell me the easy solutionn...
i´ve been hours trying

Awesome. I tried to cheat but then I understood the symbology of the name. I bet there is a mathematical solution...

Got it in about 15 minutes. I had to remember to step outside the box and then it suddenly became crystal clear.

Took me about 25 tries. I also had to put about 4 rolls side by side knowing the answer to visually see it. Great little puzzler though. Can't wait to mess with my friends.

Help may be provided by going around your neighbourhood, stealing varied and numerous single roses from people's front gardens. Take them home and painstakingly pull off each one's petals, one by one, and count them accurately. Make sure you keep them in separate piles though, or you may have to start from scratch. Alternatively, to many, this may be no help whatsoever. Insight, although rarely easy, isn't always hard.

Got it first time here as well. Found myself hoping it woulda been something more complex than that, but a good puzzle indeed  I agree, 90 minutes Bill? His hard drive musta been bogging him down.
Have fun with it!

Took me about 30 tries. I disagree that the smarter you are the longer it takes. Just depends on if you can lay off your numeric logic for a moment. That it took Bill Gates 90 minutes is somewhat disturbing.

Took most of my lunch hour. I have passed the frustration onto numerous others. It's surprising how fast some people get it.
