Friday night brain teaser

[smokeyadam]

got it in about 2 mins but did have to re-read the introduction

 

[delta555]

got it almost immediately. they give too much away in the first paragraph. But maybe i read it ages ago. cant remember.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Took me 3 minutes

It just clicked after i go thinking about the name and the fact its always even and can be 0

Its wrong though, you dont have to be clever to figure it out, just be able to think in the right way.

 

[mattbrown91]

im so stuck,

what would 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 be?
and what would 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 be?

 

[Pudney]

Both would be 0. It's quite easy actually.

 

[MrMatt]

wahay, just got it. Took me about 5 mins. Like people have been saying, the name of the game really gives it away.

As for mattbrown91:
1-1-1-1-1 would be 0 and 6-6-6-6-6 would be 0. Id imagine that has given you no help whatsoever.

 

[evulboo]

scratched me noggin for a bit but finally got it after 10min or so

 

[mattbrown91]

waht?? no comprede!

its no use, ill have to try for another hour

So i presume colours dont matter...

 

[Lt. Manlove]

Too many people giving the slightest clues, I think even telling people what association the colour of the dice has ruins the whole point of the game.

 

[Pudney]

Colours have no bearing.

 

[mattbrown91]

lieutenant is right.

 

[Lt. Manlove]

Colours have no bearing.

See what I mean?

 

[Lt. Manlove]

lieutenant is right.

You will feel REALLY good when you work it out, everyone else does when it takes this long

 

[mattbrown91]

Petals around the rose....dur...

 

[Lt. Manlove]

Now you can tease all your friends with this nice puzzle

 

[mattbrown91]

its so unbelievable simple

 

[Pudney]

See what I mean?

I'm confussed (before anyone corrects the spelling, I meant it like that).

 

[Arcade Fire]

Hey, that's pretty cool. Took me about twenty rolls to figure it out, was quite satisfying when I did!

 

[Lt. Manlove]

I'm confussed (before anyone corrects the spelling, I meant it like that).

I only meant there is supposed to be one clue and one clue only about the solution to the puzzle. And that is the name of the puzzle.

 

[Pudney]

I only meant there is supposed to be one clue and one clue only about the solution to the puzzle. And that is the name of the puzzle.

True, but imho the puzzle has been made more complicated than what it would be originally due to making the computerised version more "pretty". Doing it with standard dice would mean there were no different colours for each number, hence I believe that what I did merely puts the puzzle back into a more original setting.

Wow, I can concentrate enough to construct this argument but not concentrate enough to do any work.
