Here is a puzzle for you guys. It says the smarter you are the more trouble you will have getting it.

Ok I figured it out right away... that's not a good indication for my level of intelligence, is it?

I still don't freakin get this stupid puzzle! I've taken to guessing, and I get it right once in a while, but that's not good. lol

I got it the first try, I must be really dumb. But really, its very very simple if you read and look at what you are presented with.

ok...well, after being given some hints and stuff (and after dropping the need to create a math model of why it was working that way...or rather, a math model of how it wasn't working)...I got it...

dang it, Toby...

Bah! Got it on my second try, was thinking the correct way to do it at first but I was like, that's just stupid it can't be that.

Well guess who the real dumby is?

Got it right on the first try. Reminds me of another dice puzzle called "Polar bears around the ice hole."

Me too, Sniper. He's quite right though...don't over analyze...actually, don't even think...

I got it on the fourth try. I just guessed the first couple of times. Then I tried to analyze it on the third try but didn't make any sense. Fourth try it just popped out at me. lol So simple it's stupid.

By the way I tried it before I read all the posts about it so I must not be real bright.

I think the "professor" who took so long to figure it out is being more than a little egotistic when he makes the statement that the smarter you are, the longer it takes to figure out.

Finally got it (was at lunch and in a meeting for 4 hours).

I was just trying to think too hard hehe..

its a good game though, like the prof said, its an exercise to demonstrate how people can look at things in completely different ways.
