This is the most annoying thing in the world.

If you get it, do not reveal the answer...

I got it. Took me a couple minutes tho. I was kind of onto it at first but then started thinking waaay too much.

Gisel, I was looking at the picture page and I do have to admit, you look pretty good for a gaming female. Having said that, don't expect any sympathy when we meet on the battlefield. I am a fighter first, lover second.

There is no algorithmic pattern...

You are thinking waaay too hard and the name of the game is Petals Around the Rose. The name is important... Some of the most intelligent people around have taken days and even years to figure it out. Generally the more analytical you are, the harder it is [Wink] No more hints hehe

Nice Boon! Please don't tell anyone how it is solved. I love watching people get all silly with this. A couple people at work have been working on this since yesterday hehe.

Proving once again that I am a freak, I guessed the answer right off the bat and never got it wrong. You'd think working in the tech industry would make me a number cruncher...

Took me about 5 mins the fact that it is always an even number is the dead giveaway.

Figured it out after the second try. Your right, all you need to solve it is to think about the name of the game. If you try to get too mathematic, your doomed. [Wink]
