Check out the following link. There's a funny game there.

http://personal.baker.edu/web2/cdavis09/roses.html

It took me around 8 attempts to understand how it works

BTW, if you solve the problem, don't say it here .

P.S. If you get really stuck and fraustrated then I can give you a hint

Mastermind,

I tried 11 times and I don't get it.

I guess my mind is not as creative as Mastermind's.

Its not a confusing game instead its very simple and straight-forward which makes it so interesting and funny. Okay...I'll give the first hint. Read the Background information carefully and try to figure out what it is trying to say (there are useful information there!) Gentle smile

I guess, the reason it seems so difficult, because the algorithm is too crude to say politely. The rules to find the right number is clearly misstated.
Obviously I was trying for a more difficult pattern. I thought about the so-called right pattern momentarily before. But I just dismissed it as too stupid. lol. But hey, that is an important real life lesson to learn! You see patterns like that all the time, in real life. Some things people do that you could never believe that the underlying reasons could be so stupid to begin with!!

I assume you've solve it then. But I dont understand what you meant by the misstated rules. What rules ???

And quantum...please don't use the word 'algorithm' in this case. It will scare away a lot of people . As you can see, it is simply a stupid game once you solve it (but very appealing!)

P.S. I'm glad to know that quantum has indeed learnt a real life lesson from this

Reading your message...I feel like I missed something! The way I solved it uses a simple and stupid mathematical formula. And what about the background info or whatever? Is there any other trick there? I get the answer from the dot circle numbers.

Well, anyway, let everyone go through it, then we will compare our solutions, and tell u why the rules are misstated. Gentle smile

It is a very intesting game, though I had to stare at the screen for more than 2 hours to figure out what was happening !!!

I am thinking why other members are not saying anything about it. Does it mean, they didn't get it ???

Thanks for providing such a nice game.

Well, atleast Lish couldn't solve it, I'm sure about that. Perhaps thats why she is keeping her sticky nose away from the forum right now

Probably, DK also couldn't get it. So, he is pretending its not worth spending his valuable(?) time on it and avoiding this thread

Ok..I'll tell it here. To get the answer, you need to do some basic trigonometry. Arn't I correct dude

No, you need to use 10 based logarithmic equation.
