Petals around the Rose

hm...

After a few minutes I figured it out, but up to that point it was maddening!

Being a brain-teaser geek myself, I know that not being able to solve something like this can drive a person insane in a short time, so if no one minds I'm just going to say: quit looking for complex mathematical patterns, if that's what you're doing.

Although apparently that means I'm dumb. I would like to think I'm just good at that kind of thing :)

Thanks for the link, Zeni.

Stupid puzzle.

*stamps foot down, and walks off muttering to himself.*

Took me like 10 tries to get it. Funny thing is that it's a very simple thing instead of something particularly complex.

So for those who are still trying, don't wreck your brain, and try to find the meaning on the instructions (which has very little to do with complex mathematics).

You know the more people tell you how easy it is, the more frustrating it gets.

*kicks cat*

I couldn't get it, so i cheated and looked up the answer to the puzzle. I'm not going to spoil it, but you REALLY DO have to be SMARTER to NOT be able figure it out...

It took me a while of frustration and gursses to get it. There was at least one time I was certain I solved it, only to be aggravated. When I finally got it, I was so flustered, I had to test it many time to make sure I got it (and that it was not dumb luck).

I can't get it!! I've gotten a few right answers, but they were just lucky guesses, and I can't figure it out! Grrrrrr . . .

Neither can I.

"It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out."

I must be as dumb as fuck then - coz I got it right away.

I'm starting to get frustraited.

I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!
It took forever, but I got it.
I hate thinking outside the box.

I was presented this a long time ago. I knew what the answer was before I even saw the first example. But to my surprise, when I showed it to some of my friends who are at least as smart as I am, they failed to figure it out. It's really weird how some people get this right away and some just can't get it.

I thought I had it but I didn't. Now I can't stop trying to figure it out and I have mass work to do. Zeni if I get fired over this, will you pay my bills for me?

;)

Can somebody please email me on [email protected], with how you solve the damn thing. :o)
