Petals Around the Rose

[Akamu]

I suppose this is the best sub-forum to put this in. A just-for-fun puzzle game. See if you can figure it out! I know it's old and many of you have probably seen it before...but I ask that you don't spoil the answer for those who would like to work it out! :thumbsup:

There's an interesting article about Bill Gates and others' interaction with the game...pretty interesting.

I think that the name of the game should be changed to "Petals around the Roses." (I cheated and looked it up on Wikipedia.....) But I did try 10 rolls first.

We don't want to make it any more obvious than it is :p (not saying it is easy to figure out initially...just obvious).

I first encountered this game about 2 years ago. I have a complex that does not allow me to give up on a puzzle I cannot solve...I think it took me at least 50 or so. I used to have no life. :wallbash:
