Petals Around The Rose...
 

This game had my brain in knots for a while, and when I DID figure it out, I was slightly dissapointed because of its simplicity... But anyway...

Petals Around The Rose

Oh, and try not to spill the method... :)

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

wow ive rolled over 50 times and only got 8 right by just guessing.....i still have no clue how it calculates it :(

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Bah, I give up. Ive got no clue.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

well only rolled 3 times, don't have the patience to figure itout right now

i'll come back to it later

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

It's easier than you think... Try and link the name of the game to the rolls on the dice... If you're looking for complex mathmatical formulae, save yourself the hassle, lol.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

i still cant figure it out :unsure:

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

YES!!! I got it!!!

the music is annoying though

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Finally figured out the math of it, but don't understand why the name is signifigant...Anyone who has solved want to shoot me a PM?

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Will someone send me the secret to this timeless puzzle?

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Not allowed to give out any secrets. And from what I can tell there really isn't any math behind it. I stopped looking for a mathematical formula when I read Shadow Link's post.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I got it right almost 100% after I tried a certain method... but what's up with the threes? Not sure why they would count. But, after I had them count... I got it right 100% of the time again, so I think I know what the game's all about. That, or I'm just lucky.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I got it in about 10 minutes the first time I tried it (Like a few months ago). The Name is what gave it away. I just thought about the name for like 10 seconds and BAM I got it.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

not all that difficult when it says "the name of the game is important"

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

It's very easy. It's all about the name. Regard the name I say!

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Yeah, it's pretty easy once you figure out what's a rose and what's a petal.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I still need help.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Holy crap I just got it. It truly is all in that name. Nothing at all mathmatical about it. Im actually impressed with myself. I didnt think id be able to figure it out on my own.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

WOOT! I FIGURED IT OUT! Took about 10 minutes.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

i played this in 5th grade, but then it was called polar bears around an ice hole. oh well.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Yeah, it's not too difficult. And there are parts of the setup on the website that mislead a bit...

Not the name part. That is important to how it is solved.

*shrugs and walks away*

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Now i feels tupid....because i still dont know how to do it....but i care even less to attempt it anymore..

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Damnit.. I WILL figure this out...! =\

If only I could sit down without distractions.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

...i still can't figure it out :unsure:

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

jeepnut still doesn't know either :p

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I Like This Version much more.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

That version pretty much gives away the answer!

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Your right that does help alot I finnaly figured it out. Thx

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I give up...it boggles my mind...and how the hell can you get zero!?!?!?!?!?

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

When theres no "Petals" around the "Rose".

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Maybe they'll "go crazy" and "give up".


THE NAME!!!!


THE NAME OF THE GAME!!!!

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

haha, i love knowing something when someone else doesn't

That doesn't happen very often so when it does, i'm excited

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I know the word "rose" means "rows"...and its around something, but i cant tell what or when...or where...

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I've only got one lead so far.

EDIT: Never mind. I got it. I still don't get the name of the game, but I can get the right answer every time.

..****. I stayed up so late doing this. I feel like Bill Gates. I'll probably be rich tomorrow.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Alright, got it, now to find something better to do

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

w00t...finally got it after 13425345245 rolls...

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Alright! I got it too!

Misleading in the definition of a rose though. Must all roses have a visible center? Not as far as I'm concerned, but apparently they do. Thanks 7,9,14,11,1,19,1 and 8,5,18,15,B :)

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Alright. I got it. :) It took about 15 minutes. I was studying the name, and I thought i had it figured out, but like GM I didnt think the "rose" had to be visible, so I kept guessing a little too high.

Finally got it though.

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

I am boycotting this game :mad: :mad: :mad:



(Dylflon called me stupid for not finding it out yet...but apparently the smarter you are, the longer it takes you...so i think im probably over anylyzing it....but im still boycotting it..)

Re: Petals Around The Rose...
 

Actually I don't think it's how smart you are... I think, it depends on the type of thinker you are. Like Some people see a game that involves numbers, and even if they've been told "It has more to do with the name of the game, than math." They'll still try and figure it out using math or whatever. They'll try to think of equations. I think figuring this game out has more to do with how well you analyze situations. Petals around the Rose... So I looked at the name of the game, and started using the clue to find the answer, and when I thought of the name of the game alone, I figured it out in about 10 minutes. Some people try to make things harder on themselves. I believe I'm an intelligent guy, but I look for the easiest way out of things because I'm a slacker. Lol, maybe someday, I'll save the world with my slacker abilities! GO SLACKERS!
