Waterbottle has released a new game for the PSP:


Petals around the rose is a puzzle, You roll 5 normal dices (Any other amount of dices would also work) and get the question, How many petals are there around the rose?

There is always one correct answer to this question and the answer depends on what the dices show. To find the solution you only need some simple math knowledge and a creaive mind. It's said that the smarter you are the longer time you will use to solve this puzzle.

Wow, weird to see this on the PSP. My statistics teacher pulled this on my class last year, it was evil, evil I say. And then when I figured out the solution, I was like, that's... so... un...fair :mad: it was too simple and I was thinking too logical :(

...it was too simple and I was thinking too logical :(

Which is why it's said that the smarter you are, the harder it is to solve.

:Spoiler:

We've been trained for many years to take so much in on its literal value. We see a number and rolled dice and begin to assume it's some sort of in-depth mathematical solution. We completely forget about the name of the game and don't even think about the fact that the dots might represent the flowers and petals. Funny how the "smarter" we get the more we overlook such simple things.
