Default How Smart Are YOU?

Heres a puzzle my friend showed me. "How many petals around the rose?"
(sry if repost)

Here try to solve it:

Some people solve it within minutes, while some can take up to a YEAR!
*Dont feel stupid if you cant get it*
"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."

Took me bout an hour....
Anyways have fun.

I'm pushing an hour now and have no idea. By the way that's gotta be bullshit about how the longer it takes you the smarter you are. The "professor" probably pulled that out of his ass after all his high school dropout buddies got in a few minutes and it took him a year.
