It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out.

well i still haven't figured it out, but i got one correct guess and am still perplexed hahahah

if ur going to design something to test peoples intelligence or leave them puzzling something out, atleast design something so when they eventually get it they think "oh, thats pretty cool", not, "what a bag of shit that is".

I got it on the first try, but that's because I had a maths teacher show me the game some years back, except it was "polar bears around a fish hole" or some such thing. Frustrated me for hella long back then, though.

So THAT'S why you sent me that link and told me to work it out!

Took me a while to crack - mainly because I didn't even know the name of the damn game.
