    1st time i looked and was stumped, the 2nd time i got it in three seconds.

    First I looked at it. WTH. After some guessing, started to do mathematical crap on it. Entered it into my calculator to get mean, standard deviation, etc... Still nothing. Eventually I got it through math, but I won't elaborate on how since I want this to take forever for everyone else too... I think I wasted over half an hour on this. But yeah, in retrospect, the name means something.

    LOL!

    Holy crap. What the hell?

    After a half an hour... I finally got it.

    I googled it - researched it - looked on other forums. I even put the poor game through many mathamatical equations. It seemed so odd. SO very odd.

    But I discovered the answer on complete fluke - and it is NOTHING you will ever imagine mathamtically. Just look.

    Well, atleast I solved it faster than Bill Gates. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I guessed what it was before I even rolled the dice once, and sure enough, I was correct.

    Edit : Incidentally, the name does mean everything, you just have to be good at thinking laterally.

    Got it 3rd roll.

    Now, does this mean I'm smart, or just good at metaphor?

    Uhm, what the heck? I thought I had it all worked out, since I kept getting it right, but suddenly I get it wrong. Then I do the same thing I've always done, and I keep getting them wrong. asdf.

    Ok so the smarter you are the longer it will take you? <a href='http://leech.dk/whocares.jpg' target='_blank'>who cares?</a>

    It's not like being creative in solving problems is going to help you anytime during your life, it's always the simplest or most logical answer. Do you see calculators asking you what your temperature is, how you feel or the first thing you think of when you hear banana? I think not.

    Got it. Didn't take very long, either. I hate silly "guess the right answer, OOPS, I meant <b>my</b> right answer, there's no proper answer just one I say it is anyway it's just a game OLOLOLOL!" games like this.

    that is the single most idiotic "game" i have ever encountered.

    remember it's petals <b>around</b> the rose. Figure out what the rose is... and in order to have things around it then it must be in the center =P

    around the rose(s) even. and also it doesn't have to be a proper rose, it can be mutated as one may say.

    And remember, it's not a literal rose, but a metaphorical one. A round, metaphorical rose. In the middle. Of petals.

    Yes

    Whoops, I forgot to go through the wang-demonstration ritual. "I did it on my first try. Hell, I worked it out <i>before</i> I clicked any buttons, or even went to the website. God, I'm so great."

    There we go.

    Its actually very simple, you just have to "see" it...think abstract..

    I first started off trying mathematical properties and formulae, but after reading through thread I'm seeing its prolly something so simple and obvious its stupid <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    How fortuitous that we did this thing in math class just a couple weeks ago, except it was polar bears for us and we got a rhyme.

    Polar bears sit in pairs around holes in the ice like petals on a flower.
