Petals Around The Rose

petalsaroundtherose.jpgI was pointed in the direction of a little game called Petals Around The Rose. Apparently, the smarter you are, the longer it takes to figure out. I figured it out on the second round!

The computer will roll five dice and ask you to guess the score for the roll. The score will always be zero or an even number. Your mission is to work out how the computer calculates the score.

Play it here or here.

I gave up in the end but knowing the solution I think ‘daisy’ would be more appropriate than ‘rose’. http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-bg.htm gives a history/story about the problem.
