Got it in about about 6 to 8 rolls. Interesting game.
Posted by Mike at January 7, 2004 11:35 PMthe way you get it is 3 =2 and 5=4
Posted by shane at March 16, 2004 6:42 AMYou're NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL ANYONE THE ANSWER.
Besides, that's not actually the right answer as such.
Posted by Miko at March 18, 2004 3:48 PMI don't get it!
Posted by Eagleeye at May 29, 2004 4:02 PMShane - it's not the answer that's the satisfying part, it's understanding the answer.

Posted by John at June 2, 2004 3:56 PMEach die with a dot in the middle represents the middle of the rose, and each outlying dot around the middle dot represents a pedal. Count the pedals.

Posted by Telcontar at June 3, 2004 5:24 AMGot it in the 3rd roll.
I mean I REALLY got it.
Meaning...you won't see me hazarding a guess.
Have fun with it everybody.
Posted by thrush at June 4, 2004 11:34 PMI got the answer in a few seconds. It's simple as hell. What psychologists should be studying, however, is why so many people who see the name of the game properly spelled continue to spell it as "Pedals Around The Rose"? It's PETALS not PEDALS.

... because they DO pedal around before finding
the answer. I know, bad humor... but I had to. :)
While needles and shane may have spoiled it for some the saved my sanity....This problem really involves no math really. I never would've understood this without them. I feel like an idiot now though.....
Posted by vicious at June 10, 2004 6:32 PMYES i got it ,used almost a month though! I must be very smart :-)
Posted by Eagleeye at June 12, 2004 3:46 PMI'm glad that someone posted the answer or I would have gone crazy trying to figure it out! Thank you needles and shane!
Posted by sugarl lips at June 12, 2004 7:37 PMthe reason everyone uses "pedals" is because they all cheated, read the bill gates story about it, and then posted the answer. but hey.
Posted by gabba at June 18, 2004 6:03 AMthough shane and needles might have saved some people's lives, i think it was rather "stupid" not to say conceited to post the result - an action born out of insecurity about your own intelligence (though I am not saying that someone who figures out the game is intelligent) - the game is fun and the rule is that if you have fugured it out, keep yoru trap shut!
I am thankful that I found this comment-list after I was one with the game and was trying to find ore about what people had written about it ....
if the owner of this page, could kindly delete the posts that give out the answer, that would be very helpful ....
thanks
nice game, I figured out with help from my working mates who didn't know either..
there are some people who have collected pages of data worthless..
it was a fun game to figure out, i started to try to use math to find the answer, quite a bad idea :p
Posted by taylor at June 27, 2004 3:57 AMAARRRRRRRGHHH that does it I'm super mad now I think I'm going to go punch a hole in the wall!
Shane and Needles are the evilest people in the whole world and I hope they read this and know that they now have an enemy!
