DonkeyKongerko Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I think I think too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 The problem w/ me was that i didn't give the title one thought. That's a huge part of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 This morning I tried it and just couldn't get it.... I got on their and just got it.... Way too easy now that I think about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I got it the first time and used the second and third time to confirm it since I noticed a bunch of you were struggling. The third time was a 0 for me, which essentially confirmed it. Am I the only one that immediately envisioned it after reading the title? I was thinking about it, and I think it would be tougher to figure out if you were actually rolling dice. The way it's set up on the site made it easier for me because they were uniformly in a row.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 It also reminds me of playing "one up, one down" when I was at a high school retreat. Anybody try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I don't want to give it away either now, but I'll try to give you a hint. Don't think of all the dice at the same time, think of one and a rose at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 After figuring it out, it is easy to see why an engineer would have a problem with this. I also believe it isn't a sign of intelligence but field of knowledge. My guess, and written s;lightly in code to not spoil the solution is, someone with a B.A. would have an easier time than someone with a B.S..

LosMediasBlancas Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I saw this about 20 years ago and it took me a long while......but I bet a child would solve it in like 2 rolls. I'm not sure if this is in the link, but the guy who showed it to me, kept saying: 'Petals around a rose, the only rule of the game, is the NAME of the game'. I hope that helps.

First roll for me too, I also had it figured from the title. Neat though. I showed it people at work and they are currently being driven crazy.

By the way, this is somewhat tougher when you are rolling actual dice. It makes you think that how the dice end up being scattered and positioned has something to do with the answer. It's not quite the same in the link. Edited February 21, 2005 by LosMediasBlancas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonWeltall Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The name of the game makes it much harder. If they called it 'pedals around a group of flowers of a specific form', people would get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you commonly deal with making sense of numeric data, such as an accountant, engineer, etc. you will gravitate towards those styles of solutions.

SuperSteve Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 03:35 AM) Me too... What really messed me up was that I guessed right the first two rolls without even thinking about it. I was just putting in a number. Then I couldn't figure out why I was right the first two times, but wrong the next 10 or so. Yeah, I got it right like the third time, then couldn't figure out why.
