Thoroughly crestfallen and exhausted by the futile efforts of constant email inbox checking for get-well wishes from useless family and friends, I ventured off into cyberspace. A routine visit to the forums of Slashdot introduced me to the wonderful puzzle/game of Petals Around the Rose.
After a week long obsession with Sudoku, I was ready for a new challenge. I’m proud to say that it only took me about 20 minutes to become a member of the Fraternity of Petals Around the Rose. Don’t forget to read the insightful anecdote of what happened when Bill Gates was introduced to Petals Around the Rose in June 1977. Let me know if and when you figure it out.
I know the answer! But I don’t want to ruin it for your other readers… so I’m emailing you right now!
Welcome to the Fraternity of Petals Around the Rose! How long did it take you? I liked it when I read an article that said the smarter you are, the longer it will take you to solve it.
In that case…it took me 2 yrs, 6 months and 23 days to figure it out…
I feel like I’ve heard about this before – like maybe in LARC or something. I miss LARC. or something…
LARC ruled…kinda. I wonder if they ever dug up our time capsule at the NIKE site. I think I put a Darth Vader action figure in there.
