The way to get the answer is to count the pips on the 5,3 or 1 and add them up.

The rose is considered to be the middle dot, which only exists in numbers 1,3,5. If there are even numbers, there is no middle dot so there is no rose, and of course no petals. Arround the dice with number 1 there are 0 petals. Arround the dice with the number 3 there are 2 petals. Arround the dice with the number 5 there are 4 petals. So in each turn, you add up the petals you have arround the roses and you give the answer

I don't like the way the online game is set up. You display the numbers below the dice. This completely negates the advantage one gains by playing this game in person. You also label the dice 1,2,3,4, & 5. This is also irrelevant and simply adds further complexity into the problem. If one simply rolls the dice in person, there would obviously be no order whatsoever. I still did not come up with the correct answer, I merely came up with an answer that works for standard 6-sided dice.

I did it!

After pondering and being frustrated by this puzzle for over a week and bugging my, (now fellow) potentate of the rose, to keep rolling and computing for me so that I could figure it out, she sent me to this website so that I'd leave her alone. roll eyes (sarcastic) after about 2 hours and 100+ rolls, I discovered the secret. big grin I am now driving my Math Teacher crazy with the puzzle. (don't worry, I'll never tell) and so today I sent her this link, and so the cycle continues....
