My friend introduced me to this nice puzzle. The goal is for you to become a Potentate of the Rose by finding out the logic behind the puzzle. The game is fascinating so I decided to write my own program for it so you too can play it. The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose. The name of the game is important. The computer program I wrote will roll five dice to which you have to guess the score for the roll. The score will always be zero or an even number. You will be a Potentate of the Rose once you have attained 10 consecutive correct answers.
How to Play:
Click on “Roll Dice” to start the game. Type in your guess and click on “Submit” to get the result. Then either click on “Roll Dice” for another turn, or simply leave this page to stop playing. Don’t forget to leave us a message before you leave. Good luck!

If you find out what the secret to the challenge is then you become a Potentate of the Rose and qualify to become a member of the Fraternity of Petals Around the Rose. However, you must pledge with your life never to divulge the secret of the puzzle to anyone else – let them do the hard work. Only those that can work it out for themselves should know the secret of Petals Around the Rose.
Trivia: Did you know that Bill Gates have had quite a hard time solving this puzzle back in 1977?2
