Hehe.. I figured it out.. it's actually so blatantly simple it's almost criminal. Good luck.

I got it too, after a few tries. It's actually kind of goofy. PM me, Lisa, if you really do want a hint. :-)

The problem is it is too easy. That's why it is hard.

if it is so easy, why am i not getting it. I am getting very frustrated, am i that dumb??

just went and try it now and i got it too... it's really easy maybe your complicating it too much. :)

I didn't mean to imply a lack of intelligence on yours, or anyone's part..

what I meant is that it's so easy that, as dunamis said, it could be extremely difficult. My advice is to stop thinking so *hard*.

(I'd also, if you're frustrated, walk away from it for a couple of hours, and come back.. fresh thinking..)

OMG i figured it out....
the clue is in the name of the game

I "cheated"... I looked up the answer. I think I may have just made several of my college professors proud. Specifically the ones who said, "no need to reinvent the wheel" and "knowing how to find the answer is more important than knowing it".

Having looked it up though I can honestly say I wouldn't have thought of the solution on my own.

Good one. Just took a minute. Reminds me of some old college drinking games.

Sweet Myrtle Brown!!!

How friggin' infuriating. There is no way I would have gotten that. I'm sittin' here with 3 pages of algorithems to try and deduce the significance of some adapting pattern. DOH!!!

Thanks for sharing the puzzle. Maybe they'll put this on the new SAT, too. hehe

I still don't see how the name is significant but . . . .

SIGH

Bahaha, I just got it. It really is simple...requires only being able to count on your fingers (sometimes toes...)
04/14/2005 10:43:09 PM · #17

04/14/2005 10:44:00 PM · #18

Took me about a dozen rolls, but then I got about a dozen in a row correct so I think I cracked it.

Now I'm sulking.... I was so pleased with myself that I had figured it out on the second roll of the dice when I first heard about the game a few weeks ago.

Just now, I read this line:"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"

Gggrrrrr

04/14/2005 10:53:11 PM · #22
