Apparently, the smarter you are, the longer it takes to solve! One very important rule though, YOU MUST NEVER REVEAL THE SOLUTION! Go ahead and post how long it took for you to figure it out though! http://personal.baker.edu/web2/cdavis09/roses.html

Deleted User	Figured it out on my fourth roll. Took about 2 minutes. I guess that means I'm not very smart. :

On the site I originally got this from, the posters reported times of around 10 minutes on average if they didn't get it right away...I won't state my time.... :-/

Andromus Guild Master Posts : 5540 Joined: 6 NOV 2002 Status : Offline	Took me about a dozen rolls to get it. Interesting, but I can't see someone struggling an entire semester to get it like the background notes said. Of course we are adventure gamers, so we should be better than most at lateral thinking, right?

Deleted User	About a minute. The fact that it's supposed to take longer for smart people was a pretty big hint, though.

bdecked Schattenjger Posts : 1620 Joined: 14 OCT 2011 Status : Online	Yea, it took me under 10 seconds (I had it on the second roll.) I must be pretty dumb... That must explain why I always need hints to get thru games... :-[ To be honest, even the name of the puzzle is a pretty major hint. That's how I got it.

Deleted User	It took me 6 tries in about 3 min to get the answer, then 4 more tries to understand it - about 5 min. FGM
