Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

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.

Keep it stupid simple,wot fun looking forward to spreading the seeds of frustration.took me 10 minutes after I found it in Second life.I wonder if my wargaming for thirty years helped,thats a lot o dice rolling btw

Two things need to be said:

1) It has nothing to do with the color of the dice.

2) It is nothing like the drinking game "Up-Down" where the answer depends on the previous answer.

what a joke first try

Great game...took me about 1/2 an hour to figure it out. Gotta go...I'm trying it out on some friends!

Pretty cool. I struggled with the series for a while, till I figured the around message.
