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
