It took me about 30 minutes. I didn't think I'd figure it out because I'm not very good with puzzles, but then it hit me. Way awesome. Glad to know I'm up there with Bill Gates.

Finally figured out after maybe an hour or so, but separated maybe on four or five days.

I was thinking about the problem as an equation at first, then as a logical problem, then as a play of words, and finally as a solution hidden "between" the dice, like a kind of increment calculation.

Dropped it all down because of the enormous time i spent on each roll to calculate the result.

heh. it's not difficult, it's different. not used to math problems like these ;)

I hate this game.

I finally figured it out though.

Took me around 30 min and writing down 25 rolls. But how could it take anyone a year?!

Finally solved this pain. I was thinking way too technically, but as soon as I turned that off, it was solved instantly.

No luck in the first five tries. Then, I read a comment: "the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out." After reading that, I turned off the Mensa part of my brain, and got it right away.
