    Thursday Puzzle: Petals on a Rose

    Firstly, if you know already the solution then you also know you are honour bound to never reveal it :-) So no fcking spoilers!

    I am rolling five dice, the answer is always an even number or zero. You can roll your own and I will tell you the answer or I will provide a 'roll' and tell you if your answer is correct. The order of the dice is not important.

    Roll: 2 2 3 6 6
    Answer = 2

    Apparently this drove Bill Gates crazy.

    Roll: 3 3 5 6 6
