No wonder I couldn't get the answer

LOL! That's just one say... I could copy the whole thing and put on my site but change the word "smart" to "stupid".

Found you all through a google for bios explainations.

Very nice site, super info,very helpful.

The PETALS, though,

WOW, couldnt get it out my head.

Did manage to crack the code in just under 23 minutes.

Have to admit I went to Mad1's link and something about the way the game was laid out there, it clicked in after 8 or 9 rolls.

Survey says...10/10!!! Most Excellent Brain Boggler.

A little information is a dangerous thing

Hi there XyLose! Welcome to ARP!

Glad that you find the site informative and helpful

Also, do stay around as we try to give out lots of goodies from time to time. right now we are running a contest for the Seagate 100GB momentus hard disk as well. Do join in!

And as for Petals

I'd admit that if i were to do this 2 years ago, i would have been stumped, probably for days... but over the years after discovering that one needs to think out of the box... sometimes literally too... trained myself to see things in lateral mode.. it helped a lot. haha.

Adrian Wong · 25th Aug 2005, 10:56 PM

Err, he did not. He only MEMORIZED the values.

The reason they knew that was because he thought the name of the game was "Pedal around the roses"!!!!

However, we'll give you one line of Bill's program as it is written in pencil on the napkin (which is safe in our vault for evidence). Bill's written program makes us feel much better about dealing with a smart guy who can not only program but can remember all those throws of the dice. Things do even out. The line reads:

PRINT "THE NAME OF THE GAME IS PEDAL AROUND THE ROSES"
