That's too much reading for such a stupid easy game. I got it after like one minute when it was first posted and no I'm not simple minded.. almost done with an electronics degree.

This was my post to the guestbook:

"HAHA."

"I'm a computer programmer, and I was banging my head against it for a few minutes, until a couple of people from the forum I found it in made a remark about how they were glad they were simple, and math-stupid. I "thought stupid", and sure enough, got it!"

BTW, I didn't cheat, but the source-code explains everything :

if (DieArray[x]==3) {
Result = Result + 2 ;
....}
....else {
....if (DieArray[x]==5) {
......Result = Result + 4 ;
.....}
....}

I'm a software developer/ system administrator and I got it on the first try.....course I also administer programs for simple minded people.

[knorwj]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy crap I finally got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no more sleepless nights for me!!!!!!!!

damn, ok my problem was I was looking at all the dice at once thinking maybe the center Die is the rose and the outer four were the petals and then trying all kinds of math... man was I overcomplicating things... so anyway I was kinda on the right track but way off at the same time.
