petals around the rose

[Jonaldo]

letting the bastids struggle as requested

let the bastids struggle Jon, its much more funny this way.

lets at least give them the year that the university lecturer took

 

[Cap'n Sissyfoo]

Har har...it won't take me that long.

I'll probably fry my brains out of frustration.

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

Got it aswell ;o

And yes the title does help

 

[Tom]

too easy

 

[Tranquil-]

I was smart the first few times, but then I got it.

do not try to count the petals, for that is impossible. instead try and realise the ultimate truth.

there is no rose

[Validus]

all those hints and i still dont get it. then again i guess its tough giving clues to such an 'easy' solution.

 

[mirieth]

you must be super-smart.

i got it when i stopped thinking about it mathematically at all and just looked at the visual side of it, rather than the numerical.

Thank you! That clue finally made me figure it out. I've tried so many mathematically formulas. Thank you!

 

[Ekydus]

Finally got it after ages of working out.
It would have taken me forever I guess, but after Klav adding a tip with logic, it kinda took me about 2 rolls.

Spoilt the game IMO.

 

[Coim-]

Someone PM me the damn answer. I can't be bothered with it anymore.

 

[Sharma]

OMFG I FIGURED IT OUT!!! :eek2:

/Edit Cant believe i just decided to laod it up one last time and the answer clicked about 10 seconds later, its so damn obvious. :doh:

 

[Coim-]

Nerf. I still don't get it even after Ekydus' explanation.

 

[Ekydus]

Think with your eyes and not your head.

 

[Coim-]

This game was obviously made for Repent. I get it now...

 

[Ekydus]

I'd still be on the mathematical formulae if it were not for reading through this thread.

 

[Validus]

trying to 'think with my eyes'. i just cant find the pattern

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

It's in the name

Tbh, it's that simple it hardly requires you to think at all.

 

[Sharma]

Don't need to think about it at all.

 

[Sarum TheBlack]

Duh.. that's kinda evil really. Worked it out eventually.. did a fair bit of silly maths stuff first though.

 

[Validus]

blergh, i give up

 

[kirennia]

such a simple 1 look game...

i got it on the second time, and the title of the game is a huge help fyi

I was having real difficulty till i read that post - then i figured it out ^^

Tart

I agree the answer is insulting, you might as well throw Mars bars on the floor and ask someone how many Martians there are under the table.

Oh I see you expect me to interpret the Mars Bars as Martians and the carpet as an inverted table

I think I picked a bad time to try this figured it finally after about an hour but the solution is so well... almost insulting as I'm a fairly mathematical person

someone agrees with me.

The fact that this is almost presented as a mathematical problem then it turns out to be as far from it as possible is just annoying. Overall pretty crap and nothing to do with problem solving or lateral thinking.

I call it Pikeys around the 50p.

Roll 7 dice and tell me how many pikeys are around the coin please.

 

[old.Tyraette]

erm..im not surprised that person agrees with you....erm....it IS you?

 

[old.Psi]

Something that actually made me laugh out loud for once.... hehehehehehe....
