Petals Around the Rose

The name of the game is, predictably enough, Petals Around the Rose and it is played with five six-sided dice.

The name of the game is Petals Around the Rose, and that name is significant. Newcomers to the game can be told that much. They can also be told that every answer is zero or an even number. They can also be told the answer for every throw of the dice that are used in the game. And that's all the information they get.

Nifty, huh? You can view a more detailed explanation-cum-story, including answers, here. And there are several sites where you can play it online. Myself, it took me about 30 minutes spread out over 5 hours of work to figure it out. Of course, now I'm sworn to secrecy too, and cannot say anything more than the above...
