Petals Around the Rose (http://personal.baker.edu/web2/cdavis09/roses.html#game)

[Kfamr]

I don't understand? :confused: :o

[popcornbird]

I figured it out! :D Pretty easy if you pay attention.

[wolf_Q]

I figured it out but it took me a couple of times lol

[Uabassoon]

I can't get it! I'm determined to figure it out.

[Uabassoon]

It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out.

This makes me feel better about myself :)

[Aspen and Misty]

What rose????????????????????????????????????????

[Uabassoon]

I finally got it!

[Aspen and Misty]

<~~~ Is still looking for the rose....is it hidden?

[Kfamr]

I don't understand how or what you're supposed to be guessing from?

[Aspen and Misty]

[Uabassoon]

Well then why are you trying to guess how many Petals are on the rose?? If there is no rose, then ????????

[cali]

lol my dad sent me that, I have never in my life been able to figer out patterns like that, so that game drives me insane, I cant figer it out for the life of me.

[Kfamr]

I came up with like 5 different patterns, each pattern seemed legit to me yet they were wrong each time.


Oh so intelligent Amy came to my rescue and told me how to figure it out. :p

[binka_nugget]

I think the title helps. You just have to figure out which one is the rose..

[CathyBogart]

Took me a few tries, but I got it.

That is a really good hint!! ;)

[catnapper]

URGH!!!! I've rolled maybe a hundred times and got the darn answer right TWICE!!! Just when I think I've got the darn thing figured out....


I hate math! I am dyslexic with numbers.... so this is my very own personal nightmare.

[joanofark]

:confused: :confused: :confused: I keep rolling but I cannot figure out the pattern!:confused: :confused: :confused:

[DJFyrewolf36]

I think Im over thinking this but dang it Im going to get it

[anna_66]

It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out.
Well I must be pretty darn smart because I still don't get it:rolleyes:

[Doggirl]

Oh I see how it works. Very sneaky.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Hint:

How many petals around the rose?

[lv4dogs]

God I must really smart. I've been working on it all morning.

Still can't find the "rose" or the AROUND part out, I have tried every number for the rose, I tried counting the ones around it in a circle, square, whole, gosh.

I get it right occasionally, I get all excited thinking I got it & bam it was a flase alarm.

[Cinder & Smoke]

:confused:
:mad:
:(
:eek:
:p
:rolleyes:

Dad wuntz to knowe where he kan pick up
hiz SurTiffyKut!?

:D

[Cinder & Smoke]

"Careful" with the "HINTS" ;) !

Rules state:

1) The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose,
and that name is significant.

Newcomers to the game can be told that much.

2) They can also be told that every answer is zero or an even number.

3) They can also be told the answer for every throw of the dice
that are used in the game.

And that's all the information they get.

;)

[apcrs5122]

I don't get it either. I just put in a number and it was the right one:o But I don't understand....


*Edit* I thought of something and went back, so now I understand it:p

[lynnestankard]

AAAGGGHHHHHH!!! It's driving me mad!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hehehe. Val, don't worry! I'm failing grade 10 math AGAIN and I figured this out. As long as you remember your stuff from grade 2 math.. you can figure this out!

[Cincy'sMom]

I think I must have encountered something similar in my past...as soon as it I saw it I knew exactly how to get the answer.

[Miss Meow]

Maybe my brain is wired incorrectly because there is no rose, nothing around it, and no darn petals :( :o

[kimlovescats]

I'm with you Catnapper..... FRAZZLED... but I'm going back one more time before I give up!!!:rolleyes:

[catnapper]

Here I am... over 12 hours later and still trying to figure it out. I am close, but not quite there. Will someone please PM me and pout me out of my misery? I am quite unlike the good doctor who worked on it a year before he solved it. I would have cut off my arm before I spent a year of my life on it! 12 hours is quite enough! :D

Hubby and the kids have also tried to solve it and nobody here is apparently looking at it the right way :( Have I mentioned that I hate puzzles like this? :D

[cali]

someone wanna PM me the answer too? I cant figer it out for the life of me, and I am driving myself insane trying to figer it out!

[kimlovescats]

OH MY GOSH .... I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!:D

[binka_nugget]

Catnapper, Dukedogsmom and Cali, I've PMed you guys how to solve it.. :)

[popcornbird]

Did you all figure it out now? ;) He he he.

[NoahsMommy]

Ewww! I hate this type of puzzle!! Someone please PM me with the solution.

I wrote down 9 different "games" and got it right 2 times, but I was just guessing.

EEEEEEK!!! :mad:

[Aspen and Misty]

Ok, I understand now.....and have been playing the game for the past half hour...Some one...help! Please

Ash :(

[lynnestankard]

I've added - divided - multiplied - - -taken away the number I first thought of! I've not got it correct ONCE!

I've been walking round the house this morning chanting - 'Around EACH rose' Megan - and the cats had stalked out - convinced Meowmie has lost the plot - lost it? I never had it!!:D

HELP!!!

Lynne

[neko1]

Someone PM me to please. I can't get it, no matter how I look at it.

[Nomilynn]

I don't get it, and it may sound really stupid but the frustration of these kinds of problems always make my cry :o Word problems in math were always accompanied by boxes of kleenex!

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I have the answer if anyone still needs to know.

[My Peanuts]
