QUOTE The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose. The name of the game is important. The computer will roll five dice and ask you to guess the score for the roll. The score will always be zero or an even number. Your mission is to work out how the computer calculates the score and become a Potentate of the Rose. Ahh... what a fun little thing. Took me but 10 minutes to figure out!!! But... very interesting indeed. Perhaps you should remember that the name of the game is important. Doing so would have saved me bundles of time -.-http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-j.htm This post has been edited by matto: Jun 3 2006, 05:07 AM |

QUOTE Congratulations! We have another Potentate of the Rose. Yea, I figured out the trick behind the brainteaser... although, if only I could interpret the name earlier, I would've save myself so much time  Nice game! |

QUOTE Congratulations! We have another Potentate of the Rose. Took about half an hour. Don't think too hard about it, that's what let me down.
