![]() However, like your students, do not be tempted, when you connect online, to visit any other sites that might divulge the secret solution. Here you can test your guess to determine if you, indeed, have solved the puzzle. Once you have an idea as to how the number of petals are determined, you may wish to visit this second web site to “Play Petals Around the Rose”. More repetition may help you to formulate a rule. If you are still unsure of the solution, I encourage you to initially play the simpler, online version of “Petals Around the Rose”. I recommend readers review the following article “Bill Gates and Petals Around the Rose” to gain a better perspective on the challenge and how different individuals need a different number of rolls to formulate the answer. In fact, I understand that in 1977, Bill Gates was also quite frustrated with this activity. However, I was not the only one having difficulty solving this challenge. If you are like me, the four sample rolls above did not provide sufficient information to solve the “Petals Around the Rose” puzzle. To get you started thinking, I will show you an image of four rolls with their respective even numbers: You must continue rolling and attempting to guess the number of “Petals Around the Rose” associated with each roll. The facilitator cannot tell you anything else.
