I just finished making this new petals around the rose site. Its a new spin on the classic petals around the rose puzzle.

I challenge everyone here to try and get the advanced version!
http://www.petalsaroundtherose.net/?version=advanced

If you haven't played the game before please go here to play the original game.

Goodluck,

Puzzle - Petals Around the Rose

Heheh, it's said that in this game, the smarter you are, the harder it is to figure it out since you think the solution is more complicated than what it really is.

Not quite true.

This is thought because "smart" people usually make it more complicated than it really is. Interestingly enough, it was also mentioned that people who pursue a career in this sort of work (ie. Stat/mathematicians) have the hardest time. This is because they are hardwired to thinking in complex terms.

Intelligence has nothing to do with it (heck, I've been tested at an IQ of over 140), but rather how hardwired you are into thinking a certain way. Those who "aren't smart" appear to have an easier time, only because this has not happened to them.

Yeah of course, and there are also other types of intelligence apart from mathematical, I just threw out the usual joke conserning this game.

Oh, I know. My dad never could finish the basic one out (He was an accountant, interestingly enough), so I use that joke often.

I just wanted to point out the obvious for those who would take the joke seriously.

Just count the petals around the roses, they're right there! Very Happy And if the petals are AROUND a rose, then the rose has to be...

I remember when I first tried to solve this, I tried multiplying, dividing, adding, substracting, tried just every other dice and all. Then my little sister told me I'm thinking too hard, so I just concentrated on the name....petals around the rose. Around....the rose....and it hit me.

Look's complicated to me. Sad

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

It's quite simple. Just think about the name. Once you get it, you'll be like, "how the Hell didn't I think of that before?" Petals AROUND the ROSE. Just think about that.

whoa.

I'm working on the advanced one, as well. I'm already dreading the hardest one.

Edit: That was NOT hard. I got the concept right away, but it took me a few minutes to nail down the exacts. Smile

whoa.

I figured the original one out in less than 5 minutes, and I figured the advanced one out in less than 1 minute. The last one I have not figure out yet.

Break a rose down into its basic attributes, then look at the dice and think about it.

That's what I had to tell my dad. He got it soon after.

The Mind-Splitter is annoying as Hell. I think I have the general idea, but the getting the answer isn't the easiest.

There's a specific sequence. If you were to change the sequence, you would change the answer. It's not just a simple addition.
