After much advanced calculus in various number bases, and long records of results in spreadsheets for complex statistical analysis, the answer hit me like a bullet from nowhere!
I feel quit smug now.

Spent 3 minutes playing it, started formulating theories and formulas but instead read the story about Bill Gates, noticed that the secretary got it almost immediately... so I just relaxed, leaned back and - bingo.
The elusive obvious.

At first I was confused, being a math teacher I tried all types of formulas. Then I read the problem again. Petals around the rose! You don't have to be smart, just have common sense!

at first, it was frustrating. then, after you solve it, the clouds magically part, the sun shines, etc...... this is just amazingly, amazingly cool...

I was stuck on it for a long time and then i started to think about the dice as dots instead of numbers... from there it was easy

God damn it! I was so frustrated with this for 10 miniutes I thought I'd never solve it. And then it just hit me...the petals around the rose! I love this stupid thing.
