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.
-
Eh..I got it first try.
-
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
-
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...
-
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.
-
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".
-
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. :(

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. :P
