    Ahhh... Has anyone here heard of the game "Petals Around the Rose"? :mrgreen:

    If not, check it out here! - http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-bg.htm

    Very interesting story. I first read about it in the book about Bill Gates called Hard Drive. That was about 10 years ago.

    Still can't figure it out though. :wall:

    If finding fast, simple and efficient solutions is called stupid rather than thinking over and over again until it's too late .. I'm happy to be called that way. ;) ^^

    lol, that's interesting. Not too difficult to figure out from the name of the game.

    ROTFL!! Seriously, it's so simple sometimes that you just miss it. :haha:

    My interest in this game was piqued when I re-read Hard Drive for the umpteen time. Then I googled it two days ago and gave it a try.

    Man... The game just kept sticking in my mind. Kept thinking about it. But I still couldn't figure it out. And then boom! I suddenly figured it out when I looked at the dice again! :haha:
