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.

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.

It took me a couple minutes to figure it out but its not the surprising feeling that makes your brain think, its just stupid.

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.

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.
