    The name is actually misleading, since it is "rose" singular, whereas the solution often includes multiple "roses", or no "rose" at all.

    For what it's worth, I got it without rolling at all. Beat that!

    Try this one:


    There are 13 items hidden in this room and are needed to let you get out of this room.

    If you found:

    0-6 items, your IQ is very low, total idiot
    6-8 items, Low IQ, u r still an idiot
    9-10 items, u r normal
    11-12 items, your IQ is high, above the average.
    13 items found and get out of the room, there are less than 4,000 people in the world who can do it.

    Good Luck!

  3. Found 12 items, but can't figure out the part with the dancing guy in movie...gave up on it mainly because I don't think I will be one of the (less than) 4000 in the world who can finish it. :(
    What is the last part anyway?

    Beats me Zman7854 and jaronimo,

    I am not so smart as to be able to finish it myself, but just smart enough to post it here so others might come up with the answers for me. Could be I was a manager or a government employee in a former life. :)

    (I was only able to find 12 items myself then a friend showed me how to get out of the room by using only two items - and those two items were fairly easy to come by. My escape was not valid because I didn't reason it through and instead just blindly followed someone else's directions with no real understanding of how or why.)

    Congrats to you jaronimo! I have no idea who that bowing cowtowing guy is... sure is annoying though.

    :p

    Peace and gtty,

    Lar

  7. IQ tests are full of bogus questions


    Here is an 'easy' question that pops up on IQ tests:

    Determine the next number in this sequence


    1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ___


    Obviously the pattern is n-squared

    1^2 = 1
    2^2 = 4
    3^2 = 9
    etc...

    so the missing number is 6^2 = 36... right?


    But the pattern could also be n^2 + (n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)(n - 4)(n - 5)

    Notice that when n = 1 thru n = 5, the 2nd term drops out because anything multiplied by 0 equals 0

    So for n = 6, the answer is 36 + (5 * 4* 3 * 2 * 1) = 156

    when you think you should be clicking while you're watching the film, just wait and click in that spot when the film is done.

    i found everything within a couple of minutes and spent more time than i'd care to admit trying to figure out what the film was for.

    There is a fairly simple way to escape the room using only the CD case and the cassette. The other stuff is not necessary to escape the room. This I can do.

    On the other hand, the challange was to locate all 13 items and escape. THAT is what most cannot do. Accomplishing that full charge has eluded me.
