heres a big clue. its not a math puzzle.

huntersgirl 06-05-2004 07:44 AM

So early for my brain! But this triggered a memory from my days as a substitute teacher. I remember seeing a math teacher doing this with her students. So I will give a few other hints....Of course I cannot divulge the answer, I have been sworn to secrecy!:D


1.The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose.

2. The name is important

3. The answer is obvious, once you get it.

5.All answers are even.

Thanks Scorp, for waking up my brain!!!!

:D

naughtyangel 06-05-2004 07:49 AM

it's true when it says those who are less mathematically inclined are better at the game...I figured it on the first try, and I've never heard of the game before

Lilith 06-05-2004 08:07 AM

I got it too!

TinTennessee 06-05-2004 08:11 AM

I'm sure as hell glad somebody got it! lol

PantyFanatic 06-05-2004 08:51 AM

If the smarter you are, the longer it takes, I should have known the answer before I read the question.:dizzy:






















…. But I don’t. :confused:

Scarecrow 06-05-2004 08:56 AM

It took me a little while but I got it.

jennaflower 06-05-2004 09:03 AM

I knew it instantly... and I had never heard of it before...

I think I play to much poker

LixyChick 06-05-2004 09:26 AM

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I wanna get it, but each time I think I got it...I don't! OMG...I'm gonna be here till I get it! I hate when others get this kinda shit and I don't!

LixyChick 06-05-2004 09:33 AM

OMG! Could someone do something to divert my attention? I can't stand this anymore!!! I don't want to go an entire semester without knowing........arrgggggggggggggggg!

LixyChick 06-05-2004 09:38 AM

OK...I got it...

Least I think I do...and that's enough for me!

*wipes sweat off forehead*

LarryL 06-05-2004 09:58 AM

Where the hell is the God damned rose? xx&*$&#^^

Nice Guy 06-05-2004 10:46 AM

I must be the exception to the norm. I 'm pretty good with math (I can do long division in my head) and I figured it out on the first try.

lakritze 06-05-2004 10:46 AM

Damn,I don't have Windows Media Player. I can't even add a number to the box.......

LixyChick 06-05-2004 11:28 AM

You don't have to add your number to play lakritze. Just click "roll"...take a moment to figure your answer...then click "check" to see if you got it. It'll still work that way!

GingerV 06-05-2004 11:40 AM

Got it....but I had to walk away and stop thinking about it first.

Teddy Bear 06-05-2004 04:51 PM

Damn! You'd think with my fluff-filled brain I'd get it right away.


WRONG!!


I don't get it....... I'm gonna leave this stupid thread now before I go nuts.

wyndhy 06-06-2004 08:58 PM

i got it after two tries. makes sense, since i suck at math

FallenAngel5 06-07-2004 12:31 AM

LOL - I'm going to put on my math major hat and walk away from this with the hopes that all of you saying that math people are bad at it, cause I sure as hell haven't gotten it yet! LOL.

Oldfart 06-07-2004 12:52 AM

Numbers are not my friends, but I'm still at a loss.

BIBI 06-07-2004 02:51 AM

haven't a clue

Bardog 06-07-2004 09:27 AM

I don't get it and I suck at math

WildIrish 06-07-2004 09:43 AM

I told you all I was a dumbass! Must you continuously seek out challenges to make me prove it? :confused:

Gilly 06-07-2004 01:34 PM

I think my problem is that I'm tryint to think of it in terms of math, even after reading that it's not mathmatically inclined. I can't get the damn thing. -grr-

Aqua 06-07-2004 01:34 PM

I suck at math but I figured it out first try, but of course it's not a mathematical problem. The answer really lies in the title of the game.

nikki1979 06-07-2004 01:50 PM

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ic now, ok htat was simple but only thanks to the answers in the title clue LOL

nikki

Bardog 06-07-2004 02:24 PM

DAMN IT!!!!!!!
I still don't have a clue!


But at least it is bugging the hell out of most of the people in my office also!

Gilly 06-07-2004 06:00 PM

-whimper- I can't get it! :(

darogle 06-07-2004 06:26 PM

Finally!!! Thought I would go bonkers there for a bit!

Gilly 06-07-2004 07:23 PM

WOOHOO I got it!




damn hubby got it in 1 try after I finally figured it out and asked him if he could do it.

Bardog 06-08-2004 10:38 AM

AARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!


This "game" is a damn curse from the depths of eternal Hell!!!!!!

Scorp 06-09-2004 06:46 PM

damn its been rough for the past couple days without internet at home! and one bad thing about pixies you can't just check anywhere!!!

so did everyone figure it out?! :D

Oldfart 06-09-2004 07:15 PM

There is no answer.

It's just a ploy to kill off my last three brain cells.

Scorp 06-09-2004 07:44 PM

stop playing then old fart. killing those brain cells is better off using beer. ;)

FallenAngel5 06-10-2004 01:07 AM

Well I finally figured it out! :) I had to take a break from it, but now my mind can rest again... damn puzzle... :)
