Worked it out second time round and then read the paragraph below! Not sure what it is supposed to mean. Has anyone else heard of this? Is it supposed to be something to do with how open minded you are? Either that or I am SERIOUSLY stupid!

omg! I just solved it. It's been bugging me for weeks!!!
Yeah, TortOise, I guess it's the whole open-minded thing. And I don't really agree with the paragraph below about how smarter people take longer to solve it. I think "conventional" thinkers take longer to solve it.

i dunno i think youd have to be pretty stupid not to figure it out right away... peatals.. rose.. get it?
- moondog0
will someone just tell me?
i don't get it at all.
but it does say you need a "basic understanding of maths"...
:(

don't need maths at all

its not asking you anything mathematical. I reckon that if you have a creative mind as soon as someone asks you to look for a rose you look at it in pictorial way, rather than looking at how many points are on each dice. Whereas if you had a scientific mind you might look at more complicated, mathematical solutions? Maybe???

So i'm stupid because I can solve a simple maths problem in less than a year? ok then.
*goes back to making spaz noises whilst clapping hands.

i think dr. duke meant that the more mathematically inclined you are the longer it takes.
to say that the smarter you are the longer a problem takes is almost contradicting itself. smart means quick.
my guess is that the person who made this flash ap just misquoted his professor.
