I thought some people here would enjoy this, I found it a couple of weeks ago.

Try and figure it out (instructions are on the site).
Don't post any spoilers on this thread either

This is really cool. I'm kinda enjoying this... I'm not really into math but everyone should give this a try.

THIS IS KIND OF A SPOILER
The name gives it away. I did it in Science class, and took me about 8 rolls.

2 roll, I've seen stuff like this before, and its always fun. I think its harder if its on a table, because the dice aren't in a row and you begin to wonder if it has to do with how they fall on the table... or at least I did.

Good riddle. Found it on another forum I'm active in a while ago. Figured it within 20 minutes :p.
No math is needed.

It took me ages! I tried all kinds of different theories, getting more and more complicated. Then I read the little text down the bottom where the guy says he thinks the smarter you are the harder it is and I tried to think stupid and figured it out

i made the obvious guess on the first roll, knowing that it couldn't be right, but just to be sure.
lo and behold, it was right. silly.

A rose is a lousy name, but daisy might be more appropriate in determining the solution.

Tell me about it, I was gonna start doing matrices until I saw that little thing on the bottom saying how its supposed to be very simple. Then I got it.

Just keep trying dumber and dumber ideas. You are probably over thinking it.
It's odd how it all makes sense once you figure it out.
