Rock on.

Fun game. Directions are on there. Just press the roll button and you should be able to figure this out. Took me a while...Supposedly the smarter you are the longer it takes you to do it.

Hint: [Removed at request, too easy]

If you don't want it to be ruined for you, then don't read below this line.

********DON'T POST THE ANSWER ON HERE.********

I have done this like 15 times...all right answers.

It's not that hard.

"I was introduced to "Petals Around the Rose" by Dr. Richard Duke at the University of Michigan . Dr. Duke used to begin each of his gaming/simulation courses with this exercise. While some students would solve the problem right away, others would struggle all semester. It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out.

The game is quite simple. Only a basic understanding of math is required and an open and creative mind. The game can be used as an example of how different people look at the world differently, and how these different ways of looking can yield different answers. In "Petals Around the Rose" there is always one correct answer. The problem is how we define the problem.

"Petals Around the Rose" is traditionally played with 5 six-sided dice. I developed this version using Macromedia Flash as both an exercise for me to learn Flash and as a way to share the game with the world. Let me know what you think!"

That means that people think differently than others, not that smarter people get the idea slower.

You people have no sense of adventure to ignore a thread like this.
