Petals Around the Rose
While spending 3 long days of no work, I have looked into the web for some puzzles and trivia dealing with dominant brain puzzles and informations. Accidentally I found an article about Bill Gates, and his story about the game Petals Around the Rose. Unfortunately Bill, solved this game longer than I tried the game myself. Okay so you might be thinking how the games work, well the games need a regular dice, it does not matter how many but, the game usually uses 5 dice. The rules are simple :
1. The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose, and the name is significant.
2. The roller will tell you how many petals are around the rose based on the dice roll results
3. If you have figured out the answer for 5 or more consecutive rolls, it is understood that you have solved the puzzle, and you should not tell the answer to anybody.
I have created a simple PHP script which emulates the games, if you are up to the challenge play Petals Around the Rose
