Friday night brain teaser

[AndyPants]

Done worked it out in 10 mins, genius puzzle

 

[D.P.]

it took about 10 mins.
would have been quicker if i'd scrolled the window down to where it said the result

That stumped me as well- I originally thought that it didn't tell your the score and only told you went it was correct- making things a lot harder!

 

[saitrix]

Come on, im going crazy here, i need to know now!

 

[Steeps]

scribbles, loss of hair, formulae, random guessing... couldn't believe it was that simple!

 

[Melm0]

I do AS maths and i solved it on my first go... done it 13 times in a row now

 

[John Squire]

Took me about 20-30 mins to figure out. It feels good to finally know!

 

[KotFM]

It's really easy to over-complicate this

Good one! I've sent this on to a few mates.

Does the colour of the dice have anything to do with it?

 

[saitrix]

Finally i got it, i feel so dumb for not getting it for ages.

The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose. The name of the game is important. The computer will roll five dice and ask you to guess the score for the roll. The score will always be zero or an even number. Your mission is to work out how the computer calculates the score and become a Potentate of the Rose.

 

[xolotl]

Just got it.

God that's so simple its impossibly hard. The clue is in the name.

 

[Chronos-X]

Its a bit silly really when you get the solution :/

 

[Simaster14]

YAY! I did it! I guess it didn't take me too long, around half an hour, but you definitely feel good once you've got it!

 

[Big Spender]

ARGH!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!

 

[Gas Panic!]

Done. Spent 5 mins reading the story about Gates, thought about the name, and after some lateral thinking, I'm there.

 

[Big Spender]
