Title: Petals Around the Rose
Post by: Deezer on June 14, 2004, 03:21:23 PM
Good luck figuring out this doozy.


Petals Around the Rose.


Newcomers to the game can be told three things:


  1. The name of the game is important
  2. Every answer will be an even number
  3. They can also be told the answer for every dice throw.


GIVING AWAY SOLUTION = BAN.

How do you know what three things can be told to newbs?

Eh. I got the hints from This story. That was the only way I could've figured it out, I think.

The only thing that made me get it was the title, and even then it took me a while.

I didn't get it at first, until I thought about the name.

I got it after about 20 tries and 5 minutes. Although I don't understand what the name of the game has to do with the pattern...

EDIT: Got the name's importance. That took me longer than finding the game's solution...

As I said before, it didn't take me long to get it.

Tough stuff, untill you read the instructions.( which I have a habbit of NOT doing.)

 It took me an hour. After that, I took a break and went to a friend's house. I looked at It again, and I got it!

I got it... after writing down a page-worth of information that turned out to be useless once I figured it out.  *sigh*

Easy.  My first guess on how it worked was right, but I didn't test it because I had to get the phone.  Then I forgot and tried some other things for about a minute or less.  Then I remembered my first guess and tried it.  Easy.  Since I figured it out so quickly does that mean I am dumb?

I'll admit, I can't figure it out. ;_;

It took me 5 minutes to solve.

Geeze, I'm the one that showed this to Deez and I still haven't figured it out.

I don't think it's corret that the smarter you are, the harder it is, because the point of the game was how everyone's mind works differently, and if everyone who was smart took longer, then it would be like saying that all smart people think the same.

I can''t think of a signature.  Gimme suggestions.

This was cool, is anyone else still looking at this, or solved it or something?

I wish I was in the forest with a dragon right now.

I haven't looked at it since, and I haven't solved it since.

Got it, nothing doing really. The name of the game is what really helped me get it. Pay attention to the name.

How on earth did that one guy spend a YEAR figuring out this game?

 4 tries.

 But then again, I suppose that's more of an insult than anything else.

 And if I wasn't given the name, I wouldn't have figured it out.

Ha, the name didn't help me in solving it one bit! In bit, my method, if I were to say what my initial logic is, was probably quite different than most people's... it's basically the same thing.

Now surely the name had to have SOME influence on how you got it! Unless you've seen a pattern like that before, or are a really lucky guesser, the name is gonna be the main clue!

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO!!!

I should take another crack at it.

I've been trying to figure out the answer, and I finally saw the pattern. I've spent about an hour trying to figure out how the name has anything to do with it.

Let me away from this boulder!

I've noticed that the more mathamatically you think about it the harder it is. This puzzle drove me up the wall because I kept thinking about it from a mathamatical point of view. When I started thinking about it from a more visual view I solved it.

Ha, that was fun!  I figured it out in under 20 tries.  Yeah, I do agree that you don't have to be stupid to figure it out.  I consider myself at least above stupid and I still did it.  It's really more common sense than knowledge.  But still... an interesting game.
