Petals Around the Rose: Fraternity Register

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.

man.. this is an awesome puzzle! now it's spreading like crazy on my friends list. rather fun to see my friends pulling their hairs out to "understand" the game.

props to the creator!

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.

Awesome

Got it on my sixth try, but think I could have gotten it sooner if the die had all been the same color.

fun; took me about 2 minutes to solve, not sure why, but the solution seemed obvious to me

I was looking for an exhaustive list of all 6**5 permutations and results, stumbled onto this site and the Bill G. story, and sorted out the puzzle based upon the examples therein.

Cute.
