just a puzzle

[subdermal]

Try and guess how many "petals around the rose"

The only things you need to know are:

the answer is always even
the name of the game is important
there is a methodology to finding the number (its not random)

old yes, but not having seen it in ages, it took me 2 times to get it right again...

First 15 tries I had no luck then I changed my approach and what do you know. In the background it says the longer it takes you the smarter you are, I dont see how that works:dunno:

[sync]

i don't get it either. i guess i'm just stupid then.

maybe i'll mail the guy who made it and ask him to clarify that statement.

it's kind of silly to claim that the longer it takes you to figure it out the smarter you are and then offer no reason for it.

[turbo_equiped]

I dont know, i never got it. But again, i only tried it twice. I think i also read somewhere, "if you dont get it, you are the smartest"!
I dont know how that works!!:dunno:
:rofl:

[logix]

got it on first try too :P

[pinoyhero]

Do you all want the answer?

[Skylinelover]

^^ Yes.

[spike98]

I got it first try as well.

The trick is to take the name of the game and apply it to the dice.

[Khyron]

30+ attempts and I don't get it. Not feeling very smart either.

[FiveFreshFish]

I gave up after five tries. :banghead:

Then I cheated and googled the answer. :D

[Khyron]

My wife got it in about 8 or 9. I still don't get it. And yah I get the idea that rose means rows or something....

i spent an hour on it and just as I was going to give up i read your "hints" again and it totally gave the answer away.


If I hadn't had read your hints, i probably would have spent forever trying to find a mathematical relationships between the dices. :banghead:

[bigboom]

is it just me that doesnt understand the game?

[JordanLotoski]

for the retarded out there the rose is in the middle.....so if there is no middle there are no petals....if one of the dice is a 5 then there are 4 petals...if its a 3 then there are 2 petals..butttttttttttt if its like a 4 there are no petals
