Thursday Puzzle: Petals on a Rose

[gingerjedi]

When you take the important line from the OP and a few examples and clues from here it all becomes quite clear pretty quickly.

I googled the answer as I have work to do.

Being bright as a button is probably a handicap in this puzzle, I honestly think my 4 yo would have worked it out before me!

...and yet you felt the urge to slight me, as I did, suggesting I thought I was a better than Microsoft and now your son can do it, as being intelligent is a handicap.

Which one is it?

I disagree, of course, it is a very simple puzzle yes, but it is about spotting as pattern, nothing else. Overcomplicate that and then it becomes tricky. I have always thought in our world, people always look for complicated solutions when simple solutions would suffice.
