Spent a little while arguing with it last night, with no results.
Figured it out this morning.

There's a better version here:

But I can't figure the darn game out. Last night I started an excel
spreadsheet to see if I could plot a correlation or something... :)
Does the order of the dice matter?

LOL - see, you're trying the *smart* way.  It's a lot simpler than that.
Here's a hint.  Read the name of the game, on word at a time, and
concentrate on each word.

Hugs,

Remember that english is my second language, this better not involve
some obscure word-play or something! ;-)

Nope, just plain English - no word play.  That's why they say the more
intelligent you are the longer it takes you to get it - you tend to go
towards all the obscure possible solutions but it's really just very
straight forward.

I think I figured it out and I guess I know what they mean by the rose
petals... :)
However, I deducted the actual mathematical formula... :)

No rose petals or math formulas here, just feeling dumb... I do know the
meaning of the words, just not the connection to the dice. But then
again, English isn't even my second language but my fourth.

You are going to kick yourself. I was trying tomake it WAY too complicated.

I was doing the same thing.  Isn't it always that way.  I finally gave up
and made hubby solve it.  Guess my method of problem solving in this
instance was to make it someone else's problem.  (grin)

Thanks, I didn't think the name meant anything.  Here I was trying square
roots and all kinds of things.

I figured it out.  Took me a while, though.

OK, you guys who haven't got it yet must be the more intelligent, according
to the game.

Do you want me to post the solution?

Noooooooo!   You cannot reveal the solution, that's utterly wrong.
There's a whole history and lore behind this thing and those who have
solved it must promise to never tell the secret.  Do not post it!
