I was introduced to "Petals Around the Rose" by Dr. Richard Duke at the University of Michigan . Dr. Duke used to begin each of his gaming/simulation courses with this exercise. While some students would solve the problem right away, others would struggle all semester. It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out.

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.

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

Happydude · 05-10-2004, 10:14 AM

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

GameMaster · 05-10-2004, 02:02 PM

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

Vampyr · 05-10-2004, 06:05 PM

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.

I am boycotting this game

(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..)

TheSlyMoogle · 05-11-2004, 01:27 AM

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!
