Nobody post the answer, i am determined to get this.

Does it matter how many dice are used?

Would it still work with 20 dice for example?

Yes but I can't be arsed to work it out for that many.

It was snide mate, not sarky, as was the following line...

I think you read into things too much, you have got to admit this is the sort of puzzle where mathematical and analytical skills could send someone down the wrong path.

I wasn't comparing your mind with that of a child, anyone who knows the answer will know where I was coming from.

I think the title of the puzzle is misleading. It isn't petals on a rose, it is petals on up to 5 roses. Each dice is potentially a rose, and you might have 5 of them.

We don't get to make up the rules.
