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

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

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:

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.

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!

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.

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.

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-

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.

There is no answer.

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