I think I solved the game after the 2nd roll, though it was so simple! But I can definitely see why it may be difficult to pick up if you don&#8217;t see it immediately. If you&#8217;ve never played this game, you might not want to read this article: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.borrett.id.au\/computing\/petals-bg.htm\">Bill Gates and Petals Around the Rose<\/a>. <em>Funny thing about Bill, he began to get answers right, but not consistently. He admitted that he was remembering throws he&#8217;d seen before, along with the answers, but had no plausible theory to account for answers. Remembering?<\/em> Wow, first time I&#8217;ve heard someone brute forcing Petals Around The Rose.<\/p>\n<p>So there is a riddle on that wwu site in my previous post asking if you think:<br \/>\n0.9999&#8230; &lt; 1<br \/>\n0.9999&#8230; = 1<br \/>\n0.9999&#8230; &gt; 1<\/p>\n<p>You may want to read this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocf.berkeley.edu\/~wwu\/cgi-bin\/yabb\/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_medium;action=display;num=1027804564\">thread<\/a>. A lot of discussion on which is correct. If something converges as it approaches infinity, does it mean it equals that? One thing I hated about 0.9999&#8230; was that I could never represent that in fraction. For example.<br \/>\n0.1111&#8230; = 1\/9<br \/>\n0.2222&#8230; = 2\/9<br \/>\n0.3333&#8230; = 3\/9<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\n0.8888&#8230; = 8\/9<br \/>\n0.9999&#8230; = 9\/9?<\/p>\n<p>But if that&#8217;s the case, does that mean 0.9999&#8230; = 1? They&#8217;ve proved that on multiple reasonings which I feel is fairly accurate, though I personally never really believed limits really ever reached the # (that&#8217;s why they were called limits), it just gets closer and closer, but I&#8217;ll concede that 0.9999&#8230; = 1.<\/p>\n<p>One neat trick about these repeating digits is that there is always a easy way to convert them to fractions which I figured back in elementary school. Let&#8217;s say you have <em>n<\/em> repeating digits. All you have to do is put those <em>n<\/em> digits above <em>n<\/em> 9&#8217;s. For example, 0.123456123456123456&#8230; = 123456\/999999.<\/p>\n<p>Riddles are way too addicting. I should be play Fable!!!
