I also had it on my third try, so about 15-20secs. Always read the instructions... even though it's not explained it does tilt the way you look at the problem.

2 attempts and I had it! Woo hoo! I now feel very impressive. I guess it helps to be a visual person...
I was pretty entertained by all the insulted people out there. I get the impression they take themselves a little too seriously.... big grin

took about 15 mins of me making the problem overly complex, then it all suddenly made sense

Looked at the screen blankly for a while, then one roll seemed to flick the switch. So obvious when you know!!

At first I failed and I grumbled and walked away. When I came back, my brain had had some sort of switch, and the answer was suddenly obvious! Fun. smile

Ten rolls and I gave up knowing that I'd never, ever solve it.

Came back about half an hour later, read the instructions again and a little light went on. Had I solved it? Ten more rolls, ten right answers. So, yes. I've solved it. I'm in big grin

I'm so clever I didn't even have to roll the dice.

Only joking, it took me quite a few hours and I felt a bit silly at the end, but having now sussed it, I've emailed it to everybody I know and told them they're not smart enough to solve it.

This puzzle has made me both big and clever.

Saw the link on GorillaMask.net (to the Flash version at http://crux.baker.edu/cdavis09/roses.html). Got it after about 10 tries. Quite simple once you know the "answer" (or, rather, how to think of the question - the answer IS the question, in a form you can understand ;)... kind of like the Question from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... the Answer is 42, but it means nothing without knowing what you're asking!)
