So obvious once you figure it out, yet so hard to figure out. smile

English not being my first languate, I had to lookup the meaning of 'petals around the rose'.

After that, it was 'just' giving my mind the opportunity to go to a state of absolute simpleness. That transition took me a while, and it felt good when getting into that state!

I think I'll transform the puzzle into a web-service, so we can have our training attendees write a nice UI without revealing the secret.

Statistical behaviour of the series appeared very atypical, simpler and more redundant than I expected, so I figured it can't be about that but something else, presumably quite simple... and so it was.
Takes just a few tries once the mind is open to alternatives.

I want a smiley that's jumping up and down and clapping. This has taken me either three or four days... I've lost my mind and my sense of time and space. big grin I can live without them now that I have got this figured.

30 min - Bill Gates story tipped it off after seeing the code frown I would put a disclaimer and make a button to click first to reveal the clue. Oddly enough those I share my flat with havent figured it out even while they read the only clue.

A very good brain teaser! I shall carry 5 dice in my pocket for the rest of my life.
