[gwyllgi]

How in the fuck do you figure this out? I've been trying all sorts of patterns...

OH!!! I think I have it!!!!

[Olivier E.]

Weird

[Jono]

that was pretty fucking easy. And I'm no dummy, I SMAAT!

[Gregory]

Does Homer's "smart" dance, misspells "smart" aloud.

[gwyllgi]

Damn it, I don't have it.

grr.
I had it right on a few rolls though.

Fuck.

[AAlgar]

The answer will really annoy you when you get it.

If you're not getting it, chances are you're thinking too much.

[Jono]

Damn it, I don't have it.

grr.
I had it right on a few rolls though.

Fuck.

Let us know when you tap out. Hang in there, you can get it...

[Olivier E.]

i had it sometimes too but didn't know why, so what's the trick? :oops:

[gwyllgi]

I can't figure the pattern of it, I'm trying to keep the name in mind and still...

[Jade]

huh... that was easy... got it in one try... when I put in the answer, I thought, "it can't possibly be this. that would be stupid." But it was.

[AAlgar]

Think about what a rose looks like. There's a center, and petals around it.

[Sir Erudite Gav]

The answer will really annoy you when you get it.

If you're not getting it, chances are you're thinking too much.

Pretty much I was going to write.

[gwyllgi]

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT!!

SO EASY!!

It's hard to think so simply sometimes!!

AH!! I got it!

edit: and no, aalgar, I didn't look at your hint.

I finally guessed right on one, and realized why, and started guessing based on that.

I'm proud of myself, how lame is that?

I should say that I didn't get it by myself. Someone gave me the answer. :?

[greg donovan]

got it!

[Chris McCarver]

Nailed it each time. Pretty simple. I could see why it would be considered a conundrum though.

[gwyllgi]

I was thinking all complicated and whatnot, and the answer's so damn simple that it made me feel like an idiot when i got it.

[anThONY_s]

Phew, finally got it. I'm not dumb!!!

[Happy Time Harry]

Took me about 20 minutes, but I figured it out... Its stupidly simple once you get it

[SimiBoyz]

I'm suprised at the amount that didn't get it straight away.

[bstie1198]

I'm suprised at the amount that didn't get it straight away.

Did you get it from looking at the first roll? It took me a few rolls to see a patern emerging. It took me about 5 minutes to solve it. Sometimes it's hard to get into the right mind frame. I started out doing math patterns on the numbers, but that didn't work, so I started paying attention to the layout... It reminds me of a riddle that 70% of kindergardeners can solve but only 20% of college students get (just guessing on those numbers, I don't remember the exact ammounts anymore).


It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the Devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it you will die.
What is it???

From the first roll it took me about 7 seconds to answer and it was correct. Not got one wrong yet.

Can't think of the answer at the minute. I'll think about it over the weekend.

[Sir Erudite Gav]

I got it when it was posted a while back. I got it in a few minutes but according the website the smarter you are the longer it should take...

[greg donovan]

how many of you would have gotten it if it didnt tell you how many there were when you guessed wrong?

[bstie1198]

how many of you would have gotten it if it didnt tell you how many there were when you guessed wrong?

It would have taken me a little longer, but not that much longer. I would have guessed 0 through whatever the right answer was for each one, so it would have just been how long does it take to get up to the right answer for each roll.

[SimiBoyz]

how many of you would have gotten it if it didnt tell you how many there were when you guessed wrong?

Didn't realise it did that.

And gavbrown - SHUT UP. :)
trying ti make me look stupid.
indeed.

[Balthazar]

I gave up. No clue on this one. I'm not very good at puzzles and riddles.

[RegularJoe]

can't get it. i do words, not numbers.

[Gregory]

can't get it. i do words, not numbers.

It's a word puzzle. Identify the rose and you identify the petals and get the answer.

[Jade]

They have questions like this on IQ tests... it's not a matter of being smart or dumb, it's just the way your brain processes information. Some people process information differently than others. This tests the analytical part of your brain. I got it right the first time. Doesn't mean I'm super smart, just means I think analytically. If it takes you a few tries, just means you don't process information that way... no biggie.

I've been thinnking about this for a while now and I've come up with nothing

Not sure if you were guessing or saying you had no guess, but "nothing" is the answer.

Yeah, actually got that. "Nothing" was the answer i came up with.
Wanted to answer it without giving the answer away to the casual observer

[RegularJoe]

i would like an answer to magically appear in my PM box. 'cause i'm at work and can't spend serious time workin on the thing.

[Jerome Gibbons]

This damn thing is eating my brain.

EDIT: ARGH! Son of a bitch, I got it! Oh my God, I can't believe I couldn't come up with something so simple. I kept trying to establish the relationship between a rose and a group of dices, but couldn't come up with anything.

If it hadn't been for that hint I someone posted earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to solve it. God, I'm stupid...

[Los]

the answer to the riddle is nothing....but i cant get the rose thing... :?

[anthony the ghost]

yea i figured it out, that shit is easy

[anthony the ghost]

I was thinking all complicated and whatnot, and the answer's so damn simple that it made me feel like an idiot when i got it.

true.

[Los]

FUCK! i figured it out...made me laugh...really couldn't believe it was that easy...

[Jerome Gibbons]

I am so using this to mess with my friends' heads.

[Sir Erudite Gav]

trying ti make me look stupid.
indeed.

I'm as much stupid. See, that didn't even make any sense. "much stupid"?

[Diana]

I spent an hour trying to figure it out and didn't manage to do it. Had someone tell me the result.

All I can say is: :roll:

[CarrieLavon]

It took me about 5 minutes to get it. I was beginning to feel really stupid there for a minute. Now that I know the answer, I feel even stupider.

[anthony the ghost]

same here.

[McAfee]

Three rolls before I got it.

[Sean Jackson]

G'ah, took me about 10 min, but yeah, it totally easy once you figure it out.

In my searches, I have found another name for it, and that's what really tiped me off to the solution.

[RegularJoe]

the answer revealing PM has still not appeared in my in box.

[Damian696]

I spent an hour trying to figure it out and didn't manage to do it. Had someone tell me the result.

All I can say is: :roll:

... but you're still the only one I know that ever got as much as 14 ... :mrgreen:

[BriRedfern]

I have no clue.

[Criden]

EASY. :D

I'm going to post one that will really piss off a lot of you. :twisted:

[Mr. E!]

My brain is fried from working all week. Would someone PM the answer to me? Thanks!

[Mister Mets]

Took me five minutes but I got it.

I'm e-mailing this to friends.

[Thudpucker]

For everyone who said it was easy, and they got it right away:


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.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Still stumped. :D

[Jade]

Nice save there, Dr. Duke. :lol:

[~Hernandez~]

3rd try.

[Jade]

And just to illustrate, not brag, I have really high IQ scores and got it in one try... so, sorry Dr. Duke... try another theory... :D

[Bill?]

yeah, someone posted this a while back. it drove me nuts trying to figure it out, and when i did, I really felt like a dope.

[Bill?]

And just to illustrate, not brag, I have really high IQ scores and got it in one try... so, sorry Dr. Duke... try another theory... :D

i figure creative people tend to get it sooner, because they aren't looking at it in a purely logical way.

:oops: Thank you... but you're a creative person.

[Bill?]

:oops: Thank you... but you're a creative person.

yeah, I likw to think so. but it only took me like 20 minutes. not like a year or anything.

[anthony the ghost]

:oops: Thank you... but you're a creative person.

yeah, I likw to think so. but it only took me like 20 minutes. not like a year or anything.

one time, i created putting chips on a sandwich. and i figured this out very fast. like 3 minutes. show me the money.

[Jade]

:oops: Thank you... but you're a creative person.

Well, we can't all be like the genius Dr. Duke. :lol:

[Opus Croakus]

one time, i created putting chips on a sandwich.
:o
So you're the inventor of the potato chip sandwich?
Dude, the world cannot thank you enough for this contribution.
:lol:

the time in which i did the quiz only confirms my status among the great.

[Deli_Ham_Diggsy]

Finally figured it out. I feel like a tard. What a waste of 15 minutes of my life.


Give me more. :D

[Anonymous]

Figured it out immediately.

Surprising, since I usually suck at that kinda stuff.

My favorite is this one:

Take out 6 pencils and set them in front of you.

Now, lay them in such a way that you get 4 equal Triangles, without overlaping any. Use all 6 pencels.

Oooh, I know how! But I won't give it away just yet.

For the record, it took me one incorrect roll to get the rose petal riddle. So, according to Dr. Duke, I'm really really stupid.

[Wagon]

yeah, I got it in one try...

it's kind of interesting.. the more you analyze it, the less chance you have of getting it right every time...

[Jono]

That sound you hear is me breaking six pencils and throwing them out the window in disgust. Grrr, Jono smash puny pencils! :evil:

[Wagon]

[hide:a236e7ca6d=the answer to the pencil thing]actually, if I remember correctly, breaking the pencils is the answer... break them in half, which gives you twelve pieces, and then arrange those twelve pieces into 4 triangles of three pieces each...[/hide:a236e7ca6d]

[Jono]

Aww, son of a bitch...

[Wagon]

oops, it just occured to me that I should probably hide that for people who want to figure it out on their own...

time for a hasty edit!!!

[moonspider]

the hell?

[Happy Time Harry]

My sister-in-law, who's studing for her Master's degree, has been pulling out her hair over this since I sent her the link on Friday. My wife couldn;t figure it out either, and she's a doctor.

[Adrian B AWESOME]

It's ridiculously easy.

[Patrick J]

Got it.

[Martin J]

[hide:0e0ee90fa2] Should really be petals around roses [/hide:0e0ee90fa2]
