Another Challenge

I've been looking at this stupid thing every day for like a month. Just a few minutes.
I just figured it out. It's a good puzzle.

Don't cheat. Try to figure it out yourself. It's more satisfying that way.

Got it.

Should I be worried that it says the smarter you are, the longer it should take to figure out?

I do suck at math though. :lol:

I don't get it. :hmm:

Keep trying every so often. I didn't get it for what felt like a long time. ](*,)

I got it after about 10 rolls. I must be st-st-st-stupid.

Ha! I got it after 4 rolls

I'm pretty good at math and logical deduction.

BUT according to the link, I MUST be an idiot!!

No entiendo. No me gusta.

I still don't understand the logic. :evil:

Jake - think laterally

I have seen this one before

took me about 5 rolls if i remember correctly to get it - but then I love puzzles like this

Got it on the 3rd roll.

God, that was frustrating. I would get two in a row...think I had it down....the "WRONG"....putting me back in my place.

After about 20 tries, I finally picked it up.

Dammit!

Now I don't know if I'm "really smart" just just "plain stupid".

Once you get it, you're like - that is so obvious!

(Sorry to those of you that haven't figured it out yet.)

apparently, we are sworn to secrecy now!

From this site, a person can be told...

The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose, and that name is significant. Newcomers to the game can be told that much. They can also be told that every answer is zero or an even number.

Can't find the "rose" to start counting. Must be the lingo.
It's over my head.

Folks are saying that the more intelligent you are, the harder it will be for you to figure out. I disagree.

I think it depends on what type of thinker you are. If you analyze things a lot, as I do, it will take you a lot longer than if you don't analyze things at all.

Relax your brain....and don't over analyze it. It'll come to you.

I got it on the 1st roll, but I stared at it for a good 10 minutes! I must be stupid, LOL!

Anybody have any challenging puzzles? :-"

hailskins666 · Post by **hailskins666** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 8:03 pm

i got it. but it was the second time i took a few minutes to look at it. :oops:

i lived up to my sig..... i am sofa king we-todd-it.

the basic math thing threw me off. it should just say you need to know how to count and have an open mind.

Jake · Post by **Jake** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 11:33 pm

I still don't get it. I quit.
