Just to help time pass in the off season.
There is a secret society, which for some is easy to enter, for others, mind numbingly difficult. Supposedly Bill Gates is one of the later, and this puzzle near drove him mental.
To become a Potentate Of The Rose all you have to do is solve this puzzle:
--------------------------------------
Petals Around The Rose.
The name is significant.
The answer will always be 0 or an even number.
Do not divulge how you solve it, just give the answer, otherwise all you will do is stuff it up for others.

The answer is 6
If you answer 3 in a row correctly, it is accepted that you know how to solve the puzzle, so remember do not say how you solve it, or you ruin it for others, just give the answer.

10
Agreed

Bit boring when the solution is on the internet
:cheers

it is entirely up to the individual as to weather they want to cheat or work it for themselves.
There is barely a puzzle out that the solution is not on the internet. If you are the sort of person who would rather look up the answer than use your brain and have a bit of fun, that's your choice.
:cheers
and 10 is the answer. smokey seems to have got it and i reckon MT has too, and i doubt these two looked it up

Not for me, the clue for me was in Al's special mention of the name.

Yep the clue "Petals Around The Rose - The name is significant" was what made it click for me too, Smokey.

Worked it out (your clue gave it away) and then out of interest looked it up to see how secret this "secret society" was.
But WGAF eh?

correct
it is important to take note of the clues, plus it takes a certain type of analytical thinking to work it out.
you can take a.... too logical (?) approach , which is why some people who you would regard as intelligent, such as bill gates , have trouble with it.

Much overused term "intelligence"....
Gardner identified seven intelligences...
and later added an eighth.
and then there was a ninth; existential intelligence, which is the ability to grasp deep philosophical ideas, like the meaning of life.
Which is where we all fit in, the ability to think that a Richmond Premiership is just around the corner.
