If you don't manage to solve this within 1 min you're obviously dumber than I am.

Good day.

Less than a minute, which obviously means I am more intelligent than you are. Or perhaps, it simply infers that I've seen and experienced the content of the link in question prior to this fine occasion.

Good morning. :drunk:

If you don't enter anything into the box it is 100% the correctamundo right answer.

I thought it was a bit euuh neuuuh as it phrases it as a logic problem.

The clue is in the title, my butt-loving compadre.

Ah, got it, and it's pretty stupid. Lynxer, you are less of a human being for providing this link.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Less than 30 seconds to come up with the theory and verify it. I'm more interested in why some people take a lot of time to figure it out.

Such a deceptively polite manner with which to disparage. Well done, ApTyp.

Good evening. :drunk:

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.
It took me about 5 minutes to figure it out, and I'm stoned out of my gourd... so if it took Dr. Duke a whole year, is he a genius?

Here's a hint for those who haven't gotten it yet: Think of what petals around a rose look like.

BTW folks, it doesn't count if you just pressed check at the start, try it after a few rolls and see if you can keep getting it.
