Hey, try crack this puzzle! :read:
Its called "Petals Around the Rose"
<<The game is quite 'simple'. Only a basic understanding of math is
required and an open and creative mind. The game can be used as an
example of how different people look at the world differently, and
how these different ways of looking can yield different answers. In
"Petals Around the Rose" there is always one correct answer. The
problem is how we define the problem....>>
It's not that diff as it seems to be at first, but seems like the more logical u are, the harder u arrive the answer :mrgreen:
spend a couple of mins to read this (thou quite long) b4 u start the game cos it serves as clues too..http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-bg.htm

aftr which, u can proceed with the actual game

The TITLE of the game is the biggest clue. Seems to have a few games of this kind before, mostly used to kill time :power:

I totally give up in 10 min time. Doesn't seems like mathematics types, and doesn't really understand the title for this name too :(
