Here's a project I started a long time ago. Recently I've decided to completely redesign everything and clean it up. The website is up for public beta testing.
For those of you that have seen the Petals Around the Rose puzzle, theres a new twist for you! The "Advanced" version of the puzzle is live and working. The Extreme version is not yet publically released but Im not holding my breath for someone to figure out the Advanced version.

What do you guys think? This is the second public posting of this project in the past few years(just posted on wittebolx forums). I need some reviews first hand before continuing. Some of you will recognize the domain. A few years ago when I first created this website(plain text website) I posted it here. I felt like relearning the little bit of flash knowledge I have so the game is now in flash with a PHP backend.
Solution from WikiPedia
The "rose" is the center dot on any face that has one (i.e. 1, 3, and 5) and the "petals" are all dots around it -- the 1 face has no petals, the 3 face has two petals and the 5 face has four petals. The dice faces without center dots (i.e. 2, 4, and 6) do not count. Counting the total petal dots yields that round's answer.
Alternately, one may sum the faces of odd dice, and then subtract the number of them. Thus, in a roll of 1, 3, 4, 5, and 3, the odd faces sum to 12. There are four odd dice, so the solution is 12-4, or 8.
Good luck finding the advanced solution!
I'm thinking about changing the advanced solution on a monthly basis and posting past solutions on a new page(replacing the "history" page)
