See how many tries it takes you to figure out. I got it in 10 rolls.

I got it on my first try. However, I've played a game similiar to this. 

Edit: Actually, the game I played was exactly like this but there was more than one thing to answer.

[rabbit]

Eh..I got it first try.

[Chavo]

you can guess right on the first try and not have gotten it correctly

when you can get it right every time almost immediately, then you know the answer

[rabbit]

I know the answer, I figured it out on the first try.

I think you're supposed to keep doing it until you get it.  I got it right on the first try as well, but I don't think that means anything.  It seems there are only 3 possible answers (I only got three anyway): 0, 2, 4.  That makes guessing pretty easy...

keep playing

@rabbit: its impossible to know that you know the answer if you have only played one roll.  Its very easy to create incorrect solutions that work for a while.

it can actually be up to 20

I know.  It's pretty easy if you try more than two times...

[dark_drake]

What I meant to say is I understood the game on the first try, but that's because I've played a game just like it.

[AntiVirus]

I don't get it.

Sheesh Sidoh, make the kids that can't get it feel dumb!

[Edit]
*sigh* I figured it out. Ron told me that it doesn't matter about the rose, but instead just think of it as a "flower".

[Newby]

Ollllld. I've seen this twice before. lol.

Not really.  I knew there was a trick, so I went with the most obvious one.  I got it right on the first role, and I tried some more, and got them all right.

lol, they're all secretive about the answer, but the javascript makes it obvious.

[Rule]

lol, they're all secretive about the answer, but the javascript makes it obvious.

I think that's to try and make the game more fun.  The solution is readily available; look up "pedals around the rose" on wikipedia.

Or just look at the source code.  I completly forgot about that until Ron showed me it.  Lmao.

The first time I did it, I eventually figured out the value of each die (what each one is worth) so I always got the right answer.  Somebody else explained to me WHY each die is worth that amount.

I know you already said it.. I was reforcing what you said.  Then I went on about how I forgot about it, etc.
