6 rolls. Not too bad eh ? :D
15 mins and I give up, if there is a logic to it then it escapes me. I'm guessing its some sort of trick question.

Yep - me too pem! Got too annoyed at it - so I willhave to be content with being ignorant of the Petals puzzle! :(
It's not a trick. Like it says: "the name of the game is important"

Hi
I've cracked it.
Been kicking it around all weekend though.
For inspiration I had to read about how Bill Gates went on.

and the possible solutions.
Well, I spent another 15 mins on it and found a rule that worked (everytime) but still couldn't relate this to the name of the game.
(I have now and I still think it's a bit of a trick).

You'll kick yourself when you figure it out ;)
Well apart from the fact that it doesn't seem to work in Netscape 7.1 I managed to get it to work in IE.
I tried it yesterday and couldn't figure it out at all, but I've just tried again and got it.
Frankly I don't see what such puzzles prove except for the fact that some people have too much time on their hands!
easy peasy! 5 rolls and i got it :D:DI got it after 4 rolls....

At least I think i did....... I think I know how its calculated!!!
Got it in 2 !! (would attach screen print but not sure how)
Well 14 years ago, when this was posted, I apparently got it in 30 minutes.
I'm a :dunce: plus I give up...

I'm a :dunce: plus I give up...me too!
Im surprised/glad I figured it out so quickly :)
Beats me, instructions too vague.
I showed my eldest this and he got it in one and I thought it was a lucky guess so I got him to do it again and he did it again but he will not tell me how this is done :mad: all he said Mum you will kick yourself once you work it out.
How annoying, I think I may have to beg and plead with my son to explain this game to me.
I have googled this game and I'm still not any closer to working this game out...

I'd have to kill you if I told you.
Just count the petals around the rose on each roll of the dice.
Thank you pip, I finally got it.

The answer was there all along in the title of the game!
True and I can't wait to tell my son that I have worked it out and of course I will tell him that you explained the game far better than him :) and I thank you for that.
Congrats Weenie for figuring it out :)
Fun isnt it?
