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.

Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :

Am I thinking too hard?

There is no algorithmic pattern...

Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :

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

I HATE YOU ALL I've been brain storming this and still haven't figured the conclusion out [brd]

god damn problem solving

Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :

God damn that fucking game.

I finally figured it out...and let me tell you...that pisses me off even more.

Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :

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...

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

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]
