Only two things can be told:



1) The name of the game, Petals Around the Rose, is significant.

2) The answer is always either zero or an even number

It took me a few minutes to figure it out and while I had the idea, I did not try guessing any answers first.

wow, I actually figured it out and got it on the first try. Simple once you "get" it

I`m sorry, but that is the STUPIDEST "game" I`ve ever wasted 10 minutes on. I figured it out but why on earth would anyone waste their time infecting anyone else with it`s logic?

Show me a logic game/puzzle that isn`t stupid. It really is simple: if you do not like the puzzle then do not try to figure it out.

"Congratulations! We have another Potentate of the Rose."



Took me a bit to figure it out, and I later found the Bill Gates story interesting (should have read it before I started).

haha... that took me a few. Having rolls that were able to be zero confused me.
