There exists in this world a secret order, a legendary group of intellectuals and savants known as the Potentates of the Rose. Their ways are shrouded in mystery. All that we can know for sure is that they know something you don’t know. And for once, we’re not going to spoil it for you. Watch the video and figure it out for yourself. Cheaters will be stoned.

I cheated
I'm a cheater lol pretty good
I remember back in the day when i watched this originally, I couldn't go into a bar. Oh how times have changed. 😂
Did Jen ever figure it out? Even after the explanation sge was like "is that 8" and sojeonevsaid "no".
Ah yes these 2010s hairdos ahahaha
I am a cheater. I had to. I am so stupid I Google it and still didn't understand. It took several explanations and a video to teach me. I am a moron.
I figured it out watching a clip of someone doing this with their daughter and they did not explain it the 2nd time watching the clip, as was stated the name is important and without that little clue right there it would be much harder to figure out imo.
How is this in any way a scam? Petals around the rose is a logic puzzle that is fairly easy to work out.
Dear god, ive been looking for this video for the past 3 years.
I've been here for what is now over a decade and YouTube just threw me this nostalgia trip
I got it 🤣
I'm the wash out- I just wasted an hour of my life, because I could have never figured this out. I will say it was an hour well spent
Petals around the Roses literally counting the petals around the rose think about it
I'll figure it out one day
But does the dilemma count if I watched the solution on a future episode first?
I knew the answer right off the bat from watching less spikey Brian explain it!
I got it pretty fast but im stupid at everything else. Soo, at dice, im smarter than Bill.
i paused this video and it took me 3 hours to figure it out its brilliant
I made a dungeon for my d&d world that is 33 rooms of riddles and puzzles culminating in them finding an old lady who will challenge them to "treasures around the dragon" if they get it right and one of them figures it out they get the easy encounter if they don't they get the harder one. Good luck if they try googling the name to figure it out too.
When I figured it out I laughed. But the coolest part of this is once you know they it you can host the game and play it with others.
The most helpful roll for me was when the outcome was Zero.
Revision3, GoDaddy, and GameFly. Good god, I'm back in high school again, aren't I?
I got it at double speed before he showed
I love this trick! First one I learned from Scam School. And so easy to twist. Dead Roses, Dead Petals (awesome band name), etc.
I didn’t even try to do it I just watched them try it then watched then became a shiftless nimrod
i figured it out pretty quickly
Jokes on you, I learned the secret in a Josie episode.
So I guess the joke is on me.
Not gonna lie I just watched the newest video about pedals around the rose and didn’t realize you already did this video
The person who doesn't deserve to breed is mow teaching his daughter during quarantine. And those are some of my favorite videos now.
How times change.
I love that this video has recently been remade so that Brian is teaching his daughter the trick.. =D
Wonder if he ever imagined he'd be teaching his teenage daughter this trick 9 years on.
I watched this when it came out and I haven’t gotten better. 🙁
I got it as soon as he did
took me half an hour and i end up solving it with algebra instead
Honestly thought I had it…. my guess was just saying a random number. I didnt catch that they were all even.
Got it. Took me to the break before the reveal, but I worked it out without pausing or rewinding. I R smart!
I was so tempted to cheat, but I resisted. After 15 minutes or so, I finally cracked it! Glad I stayed true!
took me 3 examples to solve. bill gates is a dummy
I got it at 6:38! Yes!
Yeah I was WAY off on getting the answer
What are you trying to find out?you don't even explain the question??
well I figured it out a different way. i forgot about the rose thing. after writing down the numbers and just playing different math with them i figured out that he is adding all the odd dice and then removing the total number of odd dice revealing the total. for example the five dice are 1 2 3 4 5, odd numbers being 1 3 5 totaling 9, then minus the number of odd dice in this case 3. 9-3 equals 6. but to make it even easier skip the 1 dice just add the 3 and 5 dice on any roll and minus the number of 3s and 5s you get. works everytime.
Yes I finally got it after 20 minutes, after I realized why the name is important
I got it.
Mames, lo resolví en 10 segundos
Lame
I’m usually fooled every time I watch these videos but I figured this out immediately after Brian’s second roll
This is SUCH a great party puzzle because a few people get on board very quickly, but most others will stand and wonder what's going on, and then eventually everyone gathers around and wants to be a part of the thing!
I will say, though, that I think the "fishing polar bears" version that Diamond Jim Tyler taught more recently is better because the answer is exactly as easy to spot, but also the dice showing one pip become part of the answer in that version, and also there's two pieces of information in every answer for that version (polar bears total & specifically polar bears that are fishing",) and I just think that makes it just a little bit more complex, or at least it makes it seem more complex, and figuring out the answer seems like it's a bit more rewarding for that version even though it's no harder.
Go check out that version!
It's in this episode:
https://youtu.be/4tY3_j0-f58
I figured this game out on the first roll of the dice
Easy to figure out when you have polar bears as friends
