Default Petals of The Rose

Has anyone played this and figured it out? If so, please DO NOT give the answer out here. I will say that I have yet to figure it out but I will someday...

Yup, easy trick, but had to find the equivalent called Polar bears and remember an old joke to get it.

I hate math too Ivy, that may have been why it took me so long to figure it out. Can't see the forest for the trees...

yeah, its not really maths as such - more observation.

its one of those annoying puzzles that you think it actually cleverer than it is

I agree with WS. No maths in there. Only observation. Try again. :wink:
