Interesting brain teaser. Can you figure it out? Don't Google the answer and don't post the answer either!

Got to the requisite 'six' correct in 8 rolls. Man that one's evil...going to be some sleepless Pelicans out there tonight.

The name is important :)

Nope, I'll sleep like a baby. Because that is just annoying.

8/8. not the toughest puzzle I've had today.

Always 0 or an even number... why would that be?

It beat Bill Gates, but I managed to crack it when I first saw it years ago. - I'd rather have Gates' money as my clain to fame;)

The puzzle was easy to you, but the answer to your question isn't?!?

Overpaid Slacker 03-27-2007 01:32 PM

The question was a hint to those struggling with the puzzle.

Got it, that didn't make any sense~!

Anyone recognize the song? It was the elevator music version of Red Barchetta - pure blasphemy.

MBAtarga 03-27-2007 02:24 PM

Got it!

It took me quite some time. I was thinking pure math without regard to the name of the puzzle.

I read the linked article about Gates, then realized math was only part of the solution.

Well, I'm now a Potentate Of The Rose...
:D 10 out of 10 :D
I don't know what all the fuss is about! :rolleyes:

Got it!

After 2 days and several hours, I've figured it out. Silly.

slodave 03-28-2007 02:56 PM

Yeah, but it makes you think. :)

cstreit 03-28-2007 06:17 PM

Geez I realized that if someone could get it that fast it must be simple, lol. Took me a couple of minutes after that...

What music? You guys need to stop using IE. No music from Mozilla. There are extensions so that you can open IE (if you really need it) as a tab under Mozilla.

Tried it this afternoon, gave up after a few minutes. Tried it again tonight and had it in about 2 minutes.
