    Petals Around the Rose

    Here's a very good puzzle.

    If you succeed in working out the secret to the challenge, you become a Potentate of the Rose and qualify to become a member of the Fraternity of Petals Around the Rose. However, you must pledge to be a cruel and heartless wretch who will never divulge the secret of the game to anyone else. Only those that can work it out for themselves should know the secret of Petals Around the Rose.
    Read about Bill Gates intro to the game, in 1977, here

          is looking at the source code cheating?


          edit:

          OK OK.. I will remove the code

            Got it.... still have no clue why the name of the game is important though
            If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

              The Welsh support two teams when it comes to rugby. Wales of course, and anyone else playing England

                The name is important because it describes the layout of the dice with the significant dots. Once you realise that its just a case of working out the scoring system.

                I think tjalfe should remove that code...

                        That hurt my brain. It took an embarrasingly long time too. Around 10 minutes before I realized what was going on.

                          Ok, I gave up after 2 rolls, that music just freaked me out.
                          Yes, I could have turned it off, but the damage was done.
