Here's a link to a story about the game and Bill Gates, kinda interesting.....

4 rolls - maybe two or three minutes.

I imagine that the types of rolls you get in the first couple of tries will figure significantly in how quickly you work it out.

 

damn game...thanks to my girl...i would have never got that dumb shit

 

ughhh took me a good 25 mins of staring at it. Did lots of multiplying, dividing, and square roots for nothing. . I don't know if I should feel stupid or smart

 

I must be dumb as a brick. I got it on my first try and it keeps on working.

I like to think I'm ....special.

 

I tried the hint...couldn't figure it out...then was happy when I saw what EssTooKayD said...ahhh

I was going crazy after about 10 minutes till I saw that...Also trying to add and subtract, and sequence which die got subtracted to which others...geez..

That is just so simple its pathetic...I guess its true...I was thinking with numbers rather than just looking at the dice...

I do think "petals around the roseS" would help
