Petals Around The Rose
Went to Mingyi's blog and saw an entry on Petals Around the Rose. She says that you can try it when you are bored. I was kinda bored cos there are no good shows on tv and I dun really want to surf the internet for any jobs. So, I went to the link provided, http://crux.baker.edu/cdavis09/roses.html. So I read the instructions and I was so excited to plunge into the game straight and wanna see how smart I am.
Think I tried for about 10 minutes and a dozen tries but I could not get the answer. Was really frustrated. So I went to read the comments that people who have tried the game posted, thinking that there might be some clues to it. There were so many of them so I scanned through some of them. Got a hint that the answer lies in the name of the game and that the answer is definitely even. But still, I can't seem to solve it. Out of desparation, I went to the google search engine and I typed "Solutions to Petals Around the Rose". I know that I shouldn't do that but I think I wun be able to sleep tonite if I can't solve it. Went to the second link first. It was a forum that someone posted about the game. No clues. So I went to this website, http://www.enc.org/features/focus/archive/inquiry/document.shtm?input=FOC-000711-index#sje. Here is where I managed to see some light. It was a story about how a teacher introduced this game to the class. So, the examples were listed. And my mind I keep reminding myself that the clue to this game lies in the name of the game itself. And after like three examples, I think I got it. So, I went back to the website again and tried it. This time round, I got the answers! I am so happy that I finally solved it. Felt so dumb just now. Haha. So, if you are reading this, go and try it out! It's really fun!
