Are you too smart to figure this out?

How many petals on the rose? http://crux.baker.edu/cdavis09/roses.html

 

Oh my gosh...I looked at that for soooooo long before I figured it out!!!! It is so much easier when you don't think about it...

 

For some reason I guessed it right on the first try.

 

Took me a few tries. I was way over-analyzing it.

 

took me about 30 minutes to get it.

 

Took me a few tries, but not very long...

 

w00t, just got it sat at it for ages earlier, but wasn't thinking straight

 

got to keep it simple.... 7 tries before in 'got' it

 

Got it on the 4th try -- well, can't say what my mistake was 'cause I don't want to give someone a hint...but yeah, keep it simple.

Hey -- does this mean I'm not very smart though? Wait a minute, did I say my 4th try? I meant my 40th, yeah, that's what it was.

 

took me approximately 7 minutes. I tried eagerly for the first few minutes, then just rolled the dice until I noticed a pattern.

You'd say that too if it took you a yearhttp://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

YEEAAHH! i figured it out!!!

(with the help of the hint: dot)

phew...

 

Looked at it for about 15 minutes, got frustrated and went to lunch. Came back from lunch and looked at it for about 15 seconds and figured it out. I don't know about smart, but I know I was hungry!

 

I got it once of 5
I'll figure it out later

 

Hint:

What does the "name" of the game imply?

Think about it

 

I got it on the first try, but I don't know why

 

duh. . .

 

LOL! It took me longer to read the first page of this thread than it did to figure it out.

Yep, I'm a certifiable idiot!

 

Hardest...Game...Ever, I can't figure it out.

 

ahhhhh... as someone said before, I was trying to analyse it too much...

easy when you dont think too much about it...
