:cool:

Took me a while but, I got it figured out.

The good doctor claims that the more intelligent you are, the longer it takes you to solve this little puzzle. That would explain why I had to have it explained to me. To which I replied, "that's stupid". :gomer:

Whew, I was adding sides I couldn't see and dividing by the number of visible dots multiplied by the sum and dividing again by 2.

I hate puzzles. :flame:

[Turn7]

Yup. I kept saying, "4?" To get four they would of had to of added the first three then subtracted the last two and divide by the the number of doubles. Ok, I'll try that on the next one. Confidently I would say, "8" and check it find out that the answer was "0". :confused:

WTF? :saywhat:

Then I started thinking about the name of the game and it took about another 50 rolls and I was on to something. :thumbup:

And then I got it figured out and I did exactly as you and said, "that's dumb". :rofl:

[Warlock!]

Well then, I must be a frickin' genious. I don't have the slightest clue after 20 attempts, and now I'm so pissed off about I don't wanna know.

Warlock!

[Wheel-Nut]

I just put 4 in the box and it comes up right every time!

Great hint there, T7. I'd be playing this stupid thing for weeks without it.

[indyfan31]

Well that's got to be the worst instructions to any game I've ever seen. What freakin' petals around what freakin' rose???? I can't even figure out the object of the game. :mad:

[devilmaster]

With the hints from you guys that it was stupidly simple, I got it pretty much within 5 tries.

The hint is in the title.

[chop456]

Well, I'm apparently just as stupid as I'd suspected.

I figured it out on the second roll, thanks to the hint.

it's a better visual if you use the word "sunflower" or "daisy" instead of "rose", i think...

Ohhhhhhh, I get it! That was dumb, both me and the game.
